IMPORTANT!!! Bald spot on Hammy's leg!!!!! - Page 4

Yes. She has made a huge nest in it and is very happy. At first she started chewing on it because it is cardboard but I think now she has realized that that is the only hiding place in the whole cage

long do you think it will take that bald spot to grow back?
She has been wheeling so that is also good news. Going to look at her nails tomorrow (I feel fine but I heard on youtube by Erin'sanimals that you should wait 24 hours just in case) and if they are long then will try sandpaper under her waterer. I am really glad I got (and made) her other things then the house! Or else that would be her early Christmas present! Lol.

I don't know I'm afraid - maybe someone more expert in hamster health could answer that one!

Okay. Thanks. What is Charlie getting for Xmas?

Pebbles82 · 12-07-2015, 04:16 PM

Erm - trying to remember. A dangly pumpkin chew thing and a bag of healthy treats which we will put in half of a pair of Christmas socks as a small stocking lol.

Lol. Charlie is such a lucky boy!

First tons of Xmas presents and then gets to be on the advent calender,

Lol! He certainly is - the stocking is for our little boy's benefit really. Because Santa comes to hamsters as well as children apparently!

Lol! Nice!

Didn't know that Santa likes Hammys too!

Important Update:

Hi guys. I thought you really should know this. The current bald spot isnt looking sore or anything like that. But there is something even more important then the current one...... She has another bald spot on the other flank!
What do I do? I don't think any of our vets deal with hamsters Should I just see how she is in general and stuff? I am afraid of vet bills so can I just call them up, explain it, and ask if there ius anything I should do or watch out for??I'm really worried.

do you know if it could be a fungal infection? xx

Scargirl · 12-09-2015, 03:10 PM

A what? If you mean like a needle or something like that then she has never had that. If you mean like a fungus growing near or in her cage than that is no also.
