My hamster left red spots. Is it bleeding? Do hamsters have periods?

Question

So I have a hamster. I am not sure which gender it is and I am pretty sure it’s 1 and a half month old. So today I had him in his hamster ball and he was rolling around my room. After a while I took the ball and put him back into his cage. Then I noticed there were little red spots on my floor. I searched up if hamsters have periods and I am very scared for my hamster now. U can’t see the vet now so please help. Thanks! Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Female | 1 month and 14 days old

Thanks for reaching out about Peko. Hamsters (and all other rodents) do not menstrate. Check the toes nails for bleeding. If you find a toe nail that is bleeding, and has not stopped on its own, a coagulant used for dog nails works well (such as Quik Stop). This should only be used for nail, not for any other lesions. If bleeding from some other place, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
