Agree that she needs to see a vet. Can you google exotic vets in your area - an exotic vet will know more about hamster conditions and be able to give a diagnosis.

What diet is she on? Is it possible that before separation, the other hamster was hogging all the food so she wasn't getting any (I believe that can happen). How long has she been separated?

It is possible for it to be a bedding allergy but hair loss seems more than just allergy.

I believe a lack of protein can lead to hair loss but it really needs a vet visit. Is she eating and drinking ok? You could try and tempt her with some tasty healthy protein extras - pumpkin seeds are popular and have a lot of protein and are vitamin and mineral rich. Plain peanuts or a cashew nut too. (Not salted etc, the plain ones).
