My hamster has holes on his back with no fur what is it please help me?

Question

people tell me to get meds but i dont know what to do i think it is mits but i am not sure

Answer 1

If he is a male and there are 2 patches on each side of him with coarse fur, hardly any of it, don't worry. They are merely scent glands. But if they are complete bare patches and scabby and stuff get him to the vet. It may be a fungal disorder or mites. Just get him checked out, just to be safe.

Answer 2

You should see your vet, it could be scabies.

Answer 3

it could be parasites or flees.
