Greasy fur?

[Charlotte073]

So my little girl is about six months old now and I have been noticing her fur seems to be greasy, the first time we noticed it we changed her cage out (a full change) to make sure it wasn't that and gave her a rub down with wood chip which she must of thought us very strange for but entertained us and it seemed to be a bit better for a few days and now it's coming back.

I am in the process of getting a sand bath, some of you might of saw that I bought the wrong product yesterday and will sort it out over the next few days but I am getting increasingly concerned about it and wanted to check if it was something to worry about.

Her behaviour has not changed throughout any of this. Still eating sleeping and drinking as normal.

Attached a pic of Trixie. She never stays still for a nice picture!

Any advice or experience welcome, also reassurance that my little one is alright would be great.

To be honest, it kind of looks more like your hammy's been over-grooming with how the damp fur is pulled a little more forward. Sometimes my fluffs just sit there for ages cleaning, and at the end have damp fur that looks a lot like that.

It doesn't feel damp but it could of just got stuck like that I suppose. She does her best to look beautiful, I do notice she spends a lot of time grooming though so it might be the case.

Also it doesn't seem to go away with time like I would expect from cleaning. I will watch a bit more carefully though it's not something i had considered. Thank you for your reply.

A second note I have just checked her after seeing her grooming it seemed a little worse so it could be that she just wants to be a clean I suppose. I had a feel it does seem greasy to the touch but I checked her skin and it's not red or sore so I guess I'm worrying about nothing but I will see if it improves with the sand bath when I get the right stuff.
