Why is my hamster startin to lose hair
I hope that this helps! If you have anymore questions, you can email me at: pethelper4@yahoo.com! Thanks!
Their could be a few possible reasons why.
She could have mites which are irritating her and causing her to pull and scratch her hair away, or you hamster could be older than you realise. Hamsters naturally loose hair with age.
Hormonal imbalances and illnesses can also be linked with hair loss. Check her whole body for any little lumps to rule out cancer and tumors.
And finally get her to the vet. Its probably nothing at all for you too worry about but any changes in your pet needs to always be checked over by someone who is qualified and knows what they are looking for.
HAIR LOSS (ALOPECIA)
Hair loss can occur for a number of reasons in hamsters and can be due to both disease and nondisease conditions. Continual rubbing on feeders or sides of the cage and barbering (hair chewing by cage mates) are examples of non-disease causes of alopecia. Infestation with demodectic mites is one of the most common infectious causes of patch alopecia and crusty skin in hamsters. Other conditions that lead to hair loss include adrenal tumors, thyroid deficiency, and chronic kidney disease. Some of these conditions may be manageable while others are not.
take her to the vet!!
