Question
my hamster is 7 months old and stared to get a bald patch on his left hind leg and i am extremelly worryed how can i treat himm

Answer
Hi Emma,

    Hair loss in hamsters is common, especially in older ones. Try giving him a little extra protein, like a few pieces of hard boiled egg, 3 times a week. The hair may or may not come back and as long as he is not scratching excessively or has no sores on him, there really isn't anything to worry about.
