Hamster is bleeding?

My hamster i bleeding from her rear area. she's a syrinan hamster and about 8weeks old. i bought her 2 weeks ago. Does she have an infection, have i been giving her too much fresh food? please help.
Answers:
It sounds like she has Wet Tail. That can be fatal.
Please look up information on "Wet Tail" online immediately.
Fortunately, if you catch it early, they have medicines for it at places like Petsmart and Petco to treat it. It has to be done ASAP though.
Wet Tail is a very common problem in hamsters.
It has nothing to do with her food, it is a type of infection. Sometimes it has to do with the living area, have you been cleaning it enough?
But like I said, this is a very common problem in hamsters and other small animals and I'm not sure it can be prevented.
Goodluck :[

You really must get her to the vet. I really hope it is'nt, but it sounds like "wet Tail" a disese that very often kills hamsters if not seen to straight away.
To much fresh food would of given her an upset belly, but there should not be blood. Seek a vets opinion straight away today.

This may sound like a long shot, but your female hamster may be menstruating. They mature at a very young age, so it's plausible. But definately take her to the vet. I feel your pain, I've lost several hamsters whom I've loved. I hope she'll be okay. :(

Take her to the vet's. There is no good reason for her to be bleeding noticably from the anus or genital area.

there is a possibility your hamster can be pregnant. look for these signs: is it active? does it have a big stomach?
or it can have an infection called "wet tail"
keep it away from the sun and feed him a little bit less then Wat you fed him before and give him warm water and provide him with medicines and he should be good in no time.Wet tail: A bacterial infection that causes diarrhea, ears laid back, loss of appetite, and a fluid like discharge from the vent. The animals' hind quarters will appear dirty and wet. There is a broad spectrum antibiotic called Drytail which can help this condition if caught soon enough. Most pet stores should have it, otherwise take the animal to a veterinarian.

Take your hamster to the vet. She could have an infection... wet tail, or injury. The over the counter meds at the pet store will not help. Also do not give a hamster too much fresh food, they eat seeds, nuts, broccolli, tofu. Never give a Syrian hamster lettuce it contains laudenaum. Too many greens will cause stomach upset which will lead to wet tail.
I've had hamsters for years and have never had wet tail due to stringent cleaning routine and not allowing food to sit.
FYI: Hamsters do not menstruate like humans or other animals. They cycle every 3 days. If they menstruated then they would bleed to death in a short time. Hamsters release a scent when they are in "heat"
