| Question about Pets:Why is my hamster losing its hair & also has a swollen bottom lip? |
Take your hamster to the vet. While due to warm weather some hamsters will lose some hair they should not loose enough for you to notice.
My questions for you are: how often are you cleaning the cage it should be done weekly with you scooping out dirty litter or wet litter daily. Food should be removed every day. Food should not be left to rot.
It sounds to me as if your hamster may have an infection on her skin. This would be caused by not cleaning the cage enough.
The swollen bottom lip could also be a sign of teeth problems. Does she have her bottom teeth, have they grown out of control?
Please take your hamster to the VET immediately.
