Is a hamster sick if it is losing fur near its ear and shoulder area?

Check your hamsters food. It doesn't matter where you get the food, how you get the food your food could have weevils. The weevils go inside the cage when you put food in there and cause irritation. Put your hamster food in the freezer to prevent this. OR, It probably has mites. My hamster had mites, and she was losing fur on her back. We were wondering if we should take it to a vet, but she ended up healing by herself and is now perfectly fine. I'm not saying this is what you should do, because your hamster might not heal by itself; she might get worse. If she loses more hair, and still doesn't seem to be getting any better, I'd suggest bringing it to a vet. I hope your hamster gets better soon!


Why do hamsters get bald spots?

If a hamster is bald or is losing its fur, it may be rubbing up against something which is causing it to lose fur. Your hamster may be old enough to be losing fur. I have a hamster who is nearly 4 and isn't bald, but i also have a hamster who is nearly 2 and is half bald. She has been confirmed for mites and is being treated with antibiotics. If your hamster might have mites, i would suggest going to a vet. If you haven't cleaned out your hamster in a while do that, and it might grow back. I cleaned my hamster out and it grew back for a while, then went again so i changed her cage with a bigger one, but she was still bald. our hamster might even be stressed so place him/her in a quiet place and place a house inside the cage so she/he can retreat there when stressed. Try and calm him/her hold him/her and talk to them so they know you are there. Hope i helped. [: And good Luck.


Can your other hamster get sick and die from being depressed from your other hamster that had died?

It's possible, but most likely no. If your other hamster died, then play with it, and keep it happy and not lonely. Or you can clean out the cage, and then buy another hamster for her/him to play with. Then she will be happy, and the other one she would forget about. It's possible, but most likely no.

Will it help if you give a hamster who is losing its hair special vitamin for the water?

It's best to consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause of your hamster's hair loss. In some cases, providing a balanced diet with adequate nutrients may help improve your hamster's health and fur condition, but adding vitamins to the water without professional advice could be harmful.
