One of my roborovski hamsters is loosing his apetite and also his fur! He just doesn't want to eat anymore - I give him vitamins in his water, fresh fruit, proper hamster food - every day! I have had them for quite a long time now and I really do not know what the problem is. HELP!!!

Hi there,
I suggest you take your hamster to a vet. If your hamster is young, it may be that something can be done for him. If he is getting old, it may be to do with his age and he may unfortunately be on his way out.
My own hamster died today, so I know how upsetting it is when they are unwell. Please get him to a vet where you can get professional advice.

Sorry To Say This But It Could Just Be That Its Getting Old...And Going To ie Soon. The Same Happened To My Cousins Hamster Shortly Before It Died. If Youre Realli Worried Then ake It To The Vet For A 2nd Opinion, It Could Be A Medical Condition.
Hope Your Hammy Is Okay x

At this point it sounds like he is dying. Hamsters live between 3-5 years and at the end they do loose their appetite and because of that many times they lose their hair.
My best advice is to either take him tot he vet to see if its something else, or continue to nurture him until he passes

vet visit is the only cure.
sorry, but he is dying...
my friend had a syrian hamster named hammy and at 3 years he slowed down, at 4 years he lost his hair and his skin became really wrinkly! he barley never woke up and was very skinny. he had dry skin and was very very very slow. he died soon after...
