Expert Answer

If a hamster has crusting and hair loss at the eye corner, possible causes: 1. Skin infection from bacteria, fungus, or parasites; disinfect the wound and use vet-prescribed medicine. 2. Over-grooming the eye from discomfort; if frequent, fit a properly sized head cone to stop it.

3. Parasite infection such as mites affecting the eye; consult a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
