Why is my hamster losing fur
January 18, 2016 09:18PM
I have a winter white hamster and I've had my hamster for 3 months now and she's small. For a couple of days now she's been sleeping a lot she'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's been acting normal except that she isn't as active as she used to be. She'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's scratching less now but I'm just worried about what's happening to her. Her skin isn't flaky, dry or irritated. She's eating, drinking water, and pooping normal. Please help
