OMG...did u feed her with oily food? as i remember, the cat will losing its fur if being feed with oily food...but Im not sure if it also can happen to hammy

not really know what actually happened to your syrian..
kesian.. why certain of its fur "run away"??

your cage is nice..
creative juga you ni..
perhaps your hamsters like the new cage..

I do not think it's oily food.

I just Googled hamster hair loss, the_catacombs, you should try and read up about it there.

Anyway, hairloss got a few types... 1 is from bad nutrition... well, I think you feed your hamster well rite? Sometimes hair loss can be a sign of vitamin problems...

Another would be mites.... they are really microscopic mites so you cannot see with your eyes, must use microscope lah. Normally can call this mange. You hamster got any dandruff coming out? If yes, bring to vet to treat.

Another thing about hairloss... hamsters around 2 years old is considered old in hamsters... and just like old people, we also experience hair loss.... so old hamsters will have hair loss... but yours only at the butt... so... I do not think it could be a sign of old age yet.

"Hair Loss ( Alopecia )
Hair loss can occur for a number of reasons in hamsters. This loss of hair can be due to both disease and nondisease conditions. Continual rubbing on feeders or sides of the cage as well as protein deficiency and barbering (hair chewing by cage mates), are examples of nondisease causes of alopecia. Infestation with demodectic mites is one of the most common infectious causes of patchy alopecia and scaling in hamsters. Other conditions that lead to hair loss include adrenal tumors, thyroid deficiency, and chronic renal disease. Some of these conditions may be correctable, while others are not."

Don't use human shampoo or soap to bath the Hamster.

I experience it before on my Syrian.

After that, all my the hamster will bath with warm water only.

Mayb bcoz of the bedding gua.....
Ur custom made cage looks nice, but the problem is the bedding will be kicked out often wor.....
Since ur hamster got bulu problem, try change to breeder celect see see, and u'll have a cleaner floor also wor......

thanks thanks...

thanks for the info... i think the biggest possibility is bad nutrition... my gf simply give food for them to eat...
before her fur loss, she gave them eat coco crunch....

yeap... the beddings will fly out vr often... so, alwiz have to sweep floor....

I jz got myself 2 roborovski yesterday at Sunway. The guy doens't seem to be sure on determining the sexes. How can i determine their sexes??

how much did they sell each??
about sex, maybe use the same way which applied to other hamsters sex..

koko crunch? LOL.. chocolates are very bad for hammies..

I think that is why your hamster's fur dropping off... if your gf feeding it human food and junk food... wah... imagine what damage it can do to the liver, heart and digestive system.

I think for now you must get some vitamin drops and mix it with its water. Also provide it with fresh vegies like sawi, carrot, apple and cabbage... at least 1 piece of vegie or fruit a day now.

haha. thanks hun. anyway, i try to open the eye and it is not as red as previous. the eyes not swollen already. but he still shut his eyes and occasionally open a bit. i am still cleaning as usual.

RM 25 for robo and RM 13 for WW (agouti and sapphire). I thot of getting one pearl WW and one Agouti WW but they don't have pearl. So, i got myself robo instead. I dunno how to sex them except syrian coz male syrian have BIG RED BALLS

yup... DAMNNN BIGGGG... ... sometimes i saw Jojo like sitting on them while grooming his face...

I jz noticed that my syrian's nose got a bit of pus. I'm not sure when did he injured himself and i've not seen any injuries. One nose hole blocked with pus .. HOW????

@crazymouse

I have a question for you...those Winter Whites can we mix them? I have one male Holland Cinnamon Pearl which i named Barry that need a companion due to 2 of the female Cinnamon Pearl gone to the heavens.... i notice that there are various Pearl species at Pets Wonderland.... so can i mix them?

you've mentioned that both the female companions went to heaven? not easy to introduce new hamsters into the cage I think.. why must need companion wor? My ww live alone and it's fine. =D

I just pity the fellar..2 wife gone already..he looks kinda sad...

Hmm.. to what i know, hamsters are solitary and territorial.. so if u wanna introduce new parters not that easy wor... it depends on the situation la.. u have to monitor them when you first intro the new female.
