I've had a number of pet hamster and the symptoms vary. One of my hamsters had trouble walking and stumbles. One started weighing less and less with the weeks leading up to her death, while several others seemed to have no symptoms at all other then them being old-age (2-3 years old). Sometimes, a hamster may get scabs on it for no apparent reason..

One of my hamsters became rather fat, and developed scabing on his back (which I later found out was mites from another of my new hamsters that I bought, shortly before both hamsters died), and died about a month and a half later.
