Keep it on a regular routine so it is used to you feeding and watering it daily. Keeps its cage clean. Set limits to how long you handle it. Play with it in the evening since they are nocturnal. Wash your hands before you handle it so you are not passing as many germs. Keep its habitat somewhere controlled and quiet if possible. Do not handle it all the first few days it is in a new cage or after it is first brought home.

Stress is the main reason why hamsters lose fur. Another reason could also be from scratching the area. It depends in what sort of attention you mean. If the hamster has not been fed or cleaned or given water then yes, this will cause the hamster great stress. If you mean the hamster has not been taken out of its cage and played with there is a possibility that this is causing the hamster stress. Hamsters do need attention in that respect and it could cause them stress from being alone and trapped in a small cage for a long period of time. If you think the hair loss is from something else then you should take the hamster to the vets. The best way to avoid this is by taking the hamster out the cage regularly and giving it some attention.
