Answer Hi!
I don't claim to be an expert in hamsters - but the first thing to come to my mind are parasites. Depending on the type of the parasites there are different kind of products available at your local pharmacy. However I'd suggest taking your little friend to the vet immediately, as if left untreated the parasites can quickly weaken his health to the point of death!
