well, if you've had your hamster for a couple of years, then it will be growing old and when they get older they lose fur and it decays, but if it's a young hamster i suggest going to the vet.

It could be from a skin disorder, obsessive cleaning, or other, more serious problems. It could also be old age or "cat-pattern baldness," a type of balding that occurs in front of the ears of middle age cats. Take your cat into the vet.

I think that you are talking about patches of hair? Well that happened to my hamster, she got better but, on her care sheet it said 'If your hamster is loosing patches of hair,this might be the cause of 'Mites.' I hope this is what you ment and i hope i helped

Fur loss in rabbits can happen for many reasons, the most common are;

Fur Mites and Fleas

These can be carried in on Hay, peoples clothing, fingernails etc.

Treatment: Ivermectin Shots from your vet

Over-grooming

Rabbits can over groom for many reasons, one though is boredom. Give your rabbit plenty of distractions. If you are keeping to rabbits together make sure the bunny doing the over grooming does not develop fur blocks by giving plenty of hay to move the hair through their system.

Allergies

Just like us rabbits can be allergic to things.

Try changing bedding, cleaning products etc

Urine Scald

This is where are a rabbit is either allowed to sit for too long in dirty bedding or unhygienic conditions.

This can also be the case when a bunny has problems with incontinence and urine is in constant contact with the skin.

Try to keep your bunny dry and clean.

Change bedding/litter daily.

----

The best way to deal with any sickness in your rabbit is to make a vet appointment as soon as you can. internet research can never replace the advice of a vet who has examined your animal.
