Wet tail can be very contagious, you must be putting them together before your first hammy died. That's why now the other also have the same thing. They can died within 24 hours without treatment for wet tail. If you wanna save your hammy, go now to the vet with your hammy before it's too late.

Those are symptoms of wet tail.. Bring to vet asap.
Even if u don house them together, the virus can still spread when they jus contact for a while or the cage are near...
U jus got them? from same place?

Eric,long time din c u in here  Quote frm the web: QUOTE The preparation “dry tail”, which is intended to repeal this condition, is sold in hamster shops. The hamster must receive additional liquid to compensate for the loss of liquid caused by the diarrhoea, as well. “Wet tail” could very likely break out because of sudden changes in environment and handling. ^ So actually the reason wet-tail can cause fatality in hamsters is bcos the greatly loss of moisture inside the hamster's body eh?

It's actually an infection in body, lead to diarrhea..then lead to dehydration then die.. There are few possibility to get this..could be stress, bad housing environment (now or previous petshop).... And it can spread very fast from one hammie to the another one.. Dry tail selling in petshop usually doesnt help, go to vet is the best solution.

Nope, been looking after them since their birth. The father and mother already separate after 2nd birth. Cage also been cleaning every once in a week or 10 days once. Can it be the food? Recently just changed their food brand.

Sunway petstore? u mean petshack or PLC?
Vitakraft high premium?? if yes, then cant be diet prob. Because we all feeding it now..
Now u dono is diarrhea or wet tail..if wet tail then is intestinal infection, and causes can be stress...
If is diarrhea, could be u feeding too much fresh food...some hammie cant take large amount fresh food...different hammie has different level of tolerating fresh...
like my hermes, he is extremely fine with fresh.. i give a lot he also never diarrhea..

Quote frm web: QUOTE Avoid stressing young hamsters when moving them to a new environment, e.g., limit handling them the first few days, keep the hamsters on the same food they were eating for a few days and then slowly switch to a new food if necessary, etc. QUOTE Many stress related things can cause a hamster to get Wet-tail. They can easily become stressed from being handled too much (after just getting your hamster), being away from mother/siblings, change in diet, improper/inadequate cage cleaning, often, etc. There are many other reasons that hamsters can get Wet-tail.
A new, young hamster is most likely to contract Wet-tail, simply because they are young, and stressed at being put in a new, unfamiliar environment. Along with younger baby hamsters, long haired hamsters are also more likely to get the Wet-tail disease.
