This could be a number of things. You first need to check that there is nothing in the hamsters cage with could scratch it and consequently cause fur loss. If you find anything you should remove it from the hamsters cage. It also could also be stress which is causing the hamster to loose fur. Check that the hamster is getting 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark and also that there are no loud noises or changes of temperature disturbing it. With old age hamsters tend to loose a bit of fur also, so it could just be a natural thing.
