Russian Dwarf Hamster, with skin problems?
Sid♥Dogs•Cats•Hamsters asked:
My Russian Dwarf Hamster, Cherry, is albino, and blind. She is really sweet and gentle.
She has lots of problems….
I have noticed, she had a bald spot on her back, then I picked her up, and realized her whole underside was bald. Just in the past 3 weeks.
I have noticed her scratching and biting herself.
I don’t think she has a flee. I clean her cage once a week.
Is there something wrong with her skin?

This is most likely Skin Mites. Call your vet and tell her what your Dwarf Hamster is doing. Your vet will probably give you recommendations for anti-mite spray. Hope I helped.
