Got a hamster a few days ago; saw two tiny bugs in the cage; not sure if fungus or bugs
Hamster hair loss has many causes: nutritional, seasonal, fungal, parasitic, allergic, or traumatic. Seasonal loss is normal. Whatever the cause, clean the cage, change bedding, keep dry. Since the cause is unclear, a skin scrape can confirm; if no test, deworm regularly and try iodine and anti-inflammatory ointment.

What causes a dog to shed heavily in summer?
Summer shedding in dogs may be seasonal, adapting to the climate. Other situations can also cause shedding: first, poor nutrition — if the diet is unbalanced and lacks needed vitamins, minerals, or protein, shedding may result. Second, skin disease or parasite infection — fungal infection, eczema, or external parasites can also cause shedding. Third, wrong bathing methods — if the shampoo doesn't suit the dog's skin, it can irritate the skin and trigger shedding.
