I have a female hamster (think it's dwarf) which I've adopted from my friend last September.
I think she is now 9 months old as she was still a tiny little baby when my friend bought her.
Recently she has been losing a lot of fur. Area on her tummy and chest are getting balder.
I had did one very wrong mistake which is buying her the Chipsi Citrus (found not suitable as it was pine bedding some minutes ago). Could that be one of the reason why she is losing fur? Those are the possibility that I'm thinking of why she is losing fur :
1) WRong bedding
2) Rise in temperature
3) Diet ( I've been feeding her on grains, orange, carrot, french bean & occasionally some crackers as snack.Also
strawberry like once in a month)
If diet is the problem, can dog/cat food help to solve the protein problem? (i read it from http://www.hamsterific.com that hasmter could consume cat and dog food & protein could be one of the factor for hairloss).
How to identify if the diet is not complete or suitable?My hamster seems to eat everything I gave.
She is also active during late evening/night as describe for a normal hamster (biting cage and running on wheels)
I wish she will recover soon....
Pls drop some comments or ideas on how to cure my little baby girl.
I'm really worry about her condition
Thanks,
Cyndi
