Answer 1

Why did you buy him like this? It seems like he&#039;s been in a very bad fight. Three legs means that he either was born that way, from inbreeding, or he got bitten very badly. Bald spot means that he may have a skin problem. And the hole or cut in the ear(s) means that he was in a fight with another hamster.

You should bring him to the vet.

Answer 2

Three legs? Bald spot? Cut? Did you buy him like this. He could have gotten in a fight, or been born like that.

Go to the vet immediately.

Answer 4

Three legs could mean either a genetic defect, a major bruise leading to the missing leg having fallen off due to either mishandling ot fighting with another hamster. There is nothing that can be done his handicap, however hamsters with three legs can lead as normal a life as hamsters with four legs. The only limitations being climbing, so you can make it more comfortable for your hamster by making his cage a single level one so that there is no strain for him to climb through tubes or tunnels.

Bald spot can indicate mites or a bruise, since he has a combination symptoms of bald spot with a cut or hole, it is better to take him to a vet for treatment since he would require antibiotics and medications to overcome any infection that could have happened in that spot.
