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.

Will there be an infection if hamster hair is lost?

I don't know how you mean losing hair, if sheding is what your talking about, I'm not sure if the hamster might be sick or not, but if it is coming out in clumps and/or leaving red patches or irritated skin then I'd take Mr. Hamster directly to a vet. ASAP It could be something simple but I've found from my own experience, if someting is moving quickly with your animal, you need to move quickly.
