Default Re: Do hamsters have a smell?

I have a strong sense of smell and our male syrians don't smell at all to me. Occasionally, if they've rolled in a toilet, their fur might smell a bit of pee when out of the cage and handling them. The only smell coming from the cage itself can be a strong pee smell if it's ready for spot cleaning or the potty tray needs emptying - but that isn' a regular thing.

Are you sure your Syrian is a boy?! Female hamsters can have a strange smell when they're on heat every four days.

What species of hamster is he/she?
