Why is my hamster suddenly bald on its head and around its ears?

Question

My Robovorski hamster has suddenly started to go bald on the top of her head/around her ears. I haven’t changed her food or her bedding type and am not sure what has changed. She is approximately 1.5 years old. Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female

This could be due to skin mites among other things, i would recommend starting by buying a spot on or spray against mites, you can find those in most pet shops. if it doesn't help take her to your vet in order to get it checked.
