The roughness of a hamster's fur is determined by genetics. If the hamster usually has soft fur and it now feels rough, it may be dirty and need brushed or a gentle bath.

Hamster DO constantly clean themselves, and it is very normal behavior because it's just their natural way to clean and bathe themselves. Constant grooming is not to worry about!!

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.

Is a hamster supposed to have fur under its neck?

yes, it is. They were originally evovled to live in the wild, so they had fur every where. Plus, if the temperature in the room your hamster is in seems to change with the seasons, it's really likely that your hamster's fur will get thinner and thicker as the time of year changes. Don't be worried, cause it's completely natural!

Why is your hamster losing his fur?

Your hamster may have mange. It's transmittable to humans, so be careful. The symptoms would be: scratching loosing fur white specks in fur (possibly) Also, to treat it, you'd want to go to a vet. They can give your hamster a shot for mange. or Hamsters lose hear in the summer and it is more noticeable in very furry hamsters though as a hamster breeder i do suggest you go to the vets if the hamster is still malting for more then 2 months. or It could be that something is irritating the hamster so it is biting its fur out to try and get rid of the irritating thing. It may be the hay or shavings you really need to observe the cage.
