OK so my 4 month old male Syrian hamster got out of his cage and was out of his cage all day for about 12 hours. When I found him he was weary but not very scared it's not very scared I put him back in his cage but noticed that he had a dirty butt. He was also walking a little funny. He is now eating and drinking and acting like himself and he seems to be cleaning up his butt. He is still pooping regular pellets as well. I am still going to take him to the vet in the morning but please advise on what you think could be wrong.
