Just wondered if anyone knows what it is when my hamster has large black sores on his body? He has two of them and there has been a loss of fur where they are.
I've researched it on Google but to no avail, has anyone had any similiar experiences or know what they could be?
Scent glands are basically what hamsters use to attract a mate They are also used to mark territory, they go round rubbing them on stuff lol. They're especially more prominent in male hamsters, so I assume that's what these are on your hamster. They do look worrying when you first see them but they're perfectly normal
