When a hamster gets patches of gray hair does it mean old age or sickness? ?

Question

My hamster will be one in November and she has started getting little patches of gray hair all over. What does this mean?

Answer 1

Well that deepens on how its acting. If hes acting sick like not eating, pooping, peeing, or having diarrhea (idk how to spell so if his p**p is mushy) It might be related to that. I say MIGHT. But other wise hes probably just getting older like getting maybe what you would say your teen years.

  

Answer 2

It does not mean sickness. It might be part of her genetic makeup. (Winter Whites turn white in winter. She might be part winter white. Or her parents could've been part gray) And for hamster years, she is still somewhat young.
