Hamster weight gain and «bald spot»
My hamster just woke up and i noticed that she has a patch of oily, thinning fur on her side. I took a good look at the skin underneath the fur and it seems normal.
I decided to weigh her too since it was time for her weekly health check, and she has gained 6 grams in one week, she used to be 129 and is now 135.
I guess im just asking if any of this seems worrying to you, and if you know what these things might be symptoms of?
She is a female 1 y/o syrian.

Re: Hamster weight gain and «bald spot»
Do you have a photo, it would help to see if there’s a problem with the patch of skin, it does sound as though it could just be her scent gland but can’t be sure.
That is quite a big weight gain, any changes in behaviour, activity levels or diet or treats?

Re: Hamster weight gain and «bald spot»
I actually don’t think it’s a bald spot anyway, it’s pretty much gone now and she just has some greasy fur on her upper back. I think it’s just a little grease from my lipgloss haha.
As for the diet, she has been getting a few yogurt drops here and there, but just one a week, and that’s pretty much the only recent change i can think of. When i weighed her she had just woken up though, and hadn’t gone to pee yet. I’m gonna weigh her again today and see if it has changed
