I have recently purchased three new hamster. They are all very sweet and healthy, except for my little boy. He is in a cage by himself and iv noticed over the past week that his skin seem very irritated and dry. He has scabby bumps as well. His belly is especially irritated looking and red. He very sweet but does get sensitive and nippy if I got over any of his itch or scabby spots. Any suggestions on what it could be and if I can do anything about it. I live very far away from any vets that will look at hamsters so if there is anything I personally can do that would be great. Otherwise I have to try and convince my parents to take me on a long trip to the vet.. and that probably wont go over well. Thank you and have a nice day.
