Black patches on my hammy!
Hello! I’m new here and I’ve had hamsters for years. This forum has helped me a lot in the past so thought I’d join!
I noticed my hamster, Bertie, has suddenly got black patches on his back and one on his face? On his back it’s a large patch and then on his face it’s a small dot. I know it’s not scent glands (I’ve had that panic already!!) but wondered if anyone knew what this was?
He is perfectly normal, running on his wheel, eating and not itching too much. I don’t think he’s got any hair loss? I had to move hair out the way to get a good look at his patches. I noticed he looked a bit sweaty/messy but it’s 32 degrees at the moment so thought it might be the heat or where I was touching him too much!!
Does anyone know what this could be? (I’ve been trying to add pictures but no idea how)
Thank you x
