When you first get the animal, leave it alone as much as possible. I am not saying you can't handle it at all, just keep it to a minimum of two times per day, to reduce stress levels on it, since that is the number one cause for Wet Tail. Also changing it's bedding every few days will help prevent it. If your pet gets wet tail you should take it to the doctor as soon as possible, since in 48 hours it will die if not treated. If this is not possible, go to the pet store and get a medication called dri-tail which can help stop and prevent it, this medication may not work to stop it but it does help prevent it.
