Scooby Does: Some Tough Times

As a hamster living in a family of cats i've had my fair share of tough times. Cats trying to eat me. Cats trying to chase me. Cats trying to invade my cage of serenity. However I have encountered my first ever tough time that is not related to the feline of the family.

I've started the lose hair...

Is this normal? Admittedly because my owner used to worry about me a lot i used to live in her bedroom where i wasn't the happiest but now i'm back downstairs and am slowly growing some more fur on my back. Scary times though, hair loss could be down to anything.

I suppose the meaning of this post is to really remind hammy owners that we have feelings and emotions too and these can be affected by our entire environment. My owner made the mistake of keeping me in her bedroom which had little sunlight and not very much human interaction - this was only for a couple of weeks but it's still not good living conditions for a hamster and she tells me she's sorry every day. Just remember that we like to have our people around just as much as you guys love to have us around :). I was stressed so now i have a stress-free week plan with plenty of fruit and veg treats, cuddles, exercise and human interaction.

Thankfully after only a couple of days I have recovered much of my hair and my owner lives aware of how much I need my proper environment
