As our Rusty started getting older, his hair started coming out, especially on his belly. Maybe it is age related. And your sweet baby is a "Senior Citizen" in hamster years.

Since you have gone to your vet, you might try one of the hamster sites where people are familiar and up to date on hamsters. I know that this is not a vet "specialty". The only one I know about is: http://communities.msn.com/Hamstersg...naventryid=178 . But there are probably links to others from that site, or you could post your question there.

Good luck. Hope your baby will be around for you for a long time yet.
