Yes, hamster mites can be seen, but they are very small and often require a microscope to be clearly observed. Typically, they are not visible to the naked eye, as they measure only a fraction of a millimeter. Infestations can cause symptoms like itching, hair loss, and skin irritation, which may prompt owners to seek veterinary examination for proper diagnosis and treatment.
