Alopecia-hair loss in hamster is quite common. The first thing to rule out as most common cause would be external parasites (mostly mites) which the vet can give you treatment to. other causes friction from rubbing against the cage, nutritional, fungal and medical (lymphoma, kidney disease). I would recommend with any hamster with alopecia to be checked by a vet. Good Luck
