hamsters, like all other animals, including us homosapiens are rather hygenic is the environment .. you will notice that your hamster only pee at one spot, collect food to one spot and sleep at one spot ... and they hated to be messy .... you can try messing up their fur and you will see them getting frustated and comb themselves neat

If she pees in the same spot I would think she is quite clean - it sounds like she has picked a spot she feels ok with rather than dirtying up all her cage. Maybe you could some more sawdust down or kitty liter so she will get in the habbit of going in the one spot. The green colour is just the coulor her wee with uric acid

many hamsters do pee in the same spot, so the best thing to do is keep some newspaper scraps under the sawdust (and by the way sawdust is not the best thing to keep in a hamsters cage it can cause skin infections) in the spot that it pees in. The green thing is normal.

If your hamster's pee stays in the cage for long it may be starting to grow mold. You may want to clean that area daily so her envornment wont get infected. Also since she is going in the same spot in her cage you can try and get a hamster litter box! We did that for our hamsters and they loved it. It is also easier to clean just like a kitty litter box.

Maybe the Hamster is experiencing post crash stress. Once things get back to normal and The Hamster returns to making Top Gear TV motoring programme I suspect the symptoms will disappear.

its tottaly normal......just make sure to clean her "spot" everyday and put extra bedding there,, clean the rest of her cage 2-3 times a week, possibly more, but no less! :)

That sounds normal - as long as you clean the cage regularly there is nothing to worry about.

your hammy seems to have self litter trained just put extra sawdust there and clean the area more often
