<title>Why is my hamster losing fur</title>
<description> I have a winter white hamster and I&amp;#039;ve had my hamster for 3 months now and she&amp;#039;s small. For a couple of days now she&amp;#039;s been sleeping a lot she&amp;#039;s usually active and likes to be in her ball or running on her wheel but I started noticing that her fur was coming off. She&amp;#039;s been acting normal except that she isn&amp;#039;t as active as she used to be. She&amp;#039;s missing fur on all four paws, neck area, around the eyes, and belly it looks like patches. Her back side is shedding but she still has a lot of fur there. When I got her I noticed she was scratching a lot so I got her a tick and flea spray and she&amp;#039;s scratching less now but I&amp;#039;m just worried about what&amp;#039;s happening to her. Her skin isn&amp;#039;t flaky, dry or irritated. She&amp;#039;s eating, drinking water, and pooping normal.
