hamster itching

MY hamster is ALWAYS SCRATHING! is there anything like spray or rub on stuff to stop her skin from icthing so much?

Answer #1

try chinchilla sand,,NOT chinchilla dust though…the dust will cause resporitory problems with hamsters. they like the sand to roll in and clean themselves.

Answer #2

Does she have fleas? I am sure you could treat your hamster with something like frontline if it does, but it would have to be a smaller dose, So yeah I would ask a vet either way. I would look for fleas that way you could rule that out.

Answer #3

Aske a vet, perhaps?
