Default Hamster bald patch

Hi there I got my just over a year old hamster out in her ball today to notice a slight bald patch. Any advice appreciated worried about her

I can see it Part way up her side near her back. It doesn't look too bald - she may have been rubbing against something. What wheel does she have? Sometimes they can rub fur off running in some kinds of wheels.

It doesn't look like much to worry about, I agree she's probably just been rubbing against something, possibly even when scent marking she could be rubbing her whole side against something in the cage & causing a bit of hair loss, or as Serendipity says it could be caused by the wheel.

Just looked at your signature photos again - it could be caused by going through the tube.
