sometimes hamsters like chewing on their tails... but only when they have nothing else to chew on, they revert to this option. always have a chew toy for him. but first, TAKE HIM TO THE VET! IR COULD BE A DISEASE!!!!

Answer 3

I have looked and looked and cannot find anything on it. Everything I have read on hamsters said redness and scabs and hair missing could possibly be external parasites(mites, lice). But it sounds just like what my rat had. Its called ringtail. But I have looked and for the life of me cant find anything that says they can or cant get ringtail. I would take your hamster into the vet. An exotics vet will definatly know something.
