Yesterday, i noticed that there was a bit of redness around his eyes, and today it has gotten slightly worse. Does anyone know what is up with my hamster, and any suggestions? Do i have to bring it to the vet? Is this serious?

Im quite worried because his other eye looks completely fine....

I don't know what it could be, others might, but I would suggest going to the vets, it's best to get it checked.

Hello and welcome. There seems to be crustiness around the eye as well. He will need to see a vet as it might be an infection and they can prescribe antibiotics. If it's not an infection they can diagnose what it is and find the right treatment It does look a bit sore and uncomfortable for him and anything to do with eyes needs to be treated reasonably quickly. Do you have a vet near you? An exotic vet is better for hamsters, if possible.

Hi there, hope your little Hams eye is no worse and you’ve been able to find a vet to take a look and advise on treatment? Wishing him well.
