No, i don't think that it's normal for a hamster to have a bald underside. I would definitely get him checked out by a vet.

My vet isn't an exotics vet either but she has a good knowledge of hamsters.

Why don't you phone up the vet who mentions hamsters? Maybe they have a vet with more hamster knowledge than the usual cats and dogs vet.

It's not really possible for forum members to speculate on your hamster's health and it wouldn't be right to do so.

I think that once you've given your hamster the help he needs by taking him to a vet, you will feel a lot better about yourself.
