I've noticed this in a lot of hamsters recently and I wonder if it is due to the extreme heat we have had in the UK recently. Even at the show I judged last week the coats were poor and there was a lot of thinning over the scent glands. I hope that as they weather cools that the hamsters will regrow new coats.
Keep a close watch on it and if it gets red or itchy or spreads a lot then have him checked out by a vet.
