Ofcourse it's peeing. It would die otherwise. You just can't see it. If it's young, it might not even smell much either. As long as its drinking, looking healthy, don't worry. I used to have two albino hamsters. They were gorgeous. Miss them.

Hampsters go through an anomaly stated as "moist tail". They "pee" on themselves and can't wipe or clean themselves. Their bottoms grow to be contaminated by potential of urine, affecting their immune equipment, maximum suitable to different infections. Hampsters can seem completely healthful sometime, and a pair of or 3 days later be ineffective. as quickly as the "moist tail" syndrome happens, there is no longer plenty a hampster proprietor can do. Even a vet can't ward off the "moist tail" syndrome. people who sell hampsters might desire to tell the potential proprietor of the implications of possessing a hampster; regrettably, many puppy shops do no longer. Many infants have been traumatized by potential of the death of their hampster puppy, questioning they have been responsible, while if fact be cautioned that hampsters are very vulnerable to ailment.

maybe but hamsters are very clean the will only use a corner in their cage for the loo and always use the same corner so have a look to see if the corner in wet plus make sure that water is able to come out of the water bottle.some times a little air bubble gets caught just give the BOTTLE a shake when you fill it

hamsters are very small animals and they don't drink much (remember Syrians originally came from the hot desert where water is scarce). As a result they don't produce much urine (certainly nothing compared to what a rabbit or guinea pig would do). They are very clean animals who don't go to the toilet much.
In another couple of days you may start to notice his/her bedding will be a bit smelly, and you may even notice that one corner of the tank/cage has been dug up - they tend to mostly use just one area of their home as a toilet. If your hamster otherwise appears well I wouldn't worry, it sounds like it is quite normal.

When you change the bedding int he cage you'll see/smell it.
They tend to use one corner only.
