Is that normal? I have one with bald spots. Answer these questions please: 1. What kind of bedding do you use? 2. How old is your hammie? 3. Have you changed anything recently, bedding, sleep stuff, food, anything at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crittercare... what is this? Is it white? It is not the Carefresh Ultra Bedding that is white is it? This is really, really important. 2. A youngster. Good. 3. When did you go and was his bald spot there when you returned? 4. How often do you get him out of his cage and play with him? I have one hammie you has a bald spot. I had been trying to figure out what I did wrong or what was different. She is much older, so this could be her problem, but the rest of her hair is full and beautiful. Her bald spot is on her hip. Previously I had two hammies who lost all their fur because of Carefresh Ultra (the white bedding). It is bleached to make it white and therefore deadly to hammies. Some have an immediate reaction and some take much longer. I threw that in the garbage so fast a lightning bolt would look slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His fur looks like it's thinning (since a few weeks ago) 4 I try to every night. During vacation, our friend didn't play with him as she came in the morning. All their hair?! Wow.

Aspen is the best. NO cedar or pine. The scents give hammies respiratory problems. 2. When did you go on holiday and for how long? 3. I need to think on this. 4. Hammies get used to a routine and he probably was upset that you were not there for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
