Have I asked for help on this hamster before? (If yes, do not start a new topic. Look for your old topic and continue to post there so that other members can refer to previous symptoms)

No - This is the first time I am asking for help on this hamster.

 

Here is information about my hamster -
Age: 1 year and almost 1 month
Gender: Female
Species: Syrian
   
These are the details of my hamster's ailment -
When did it start: Maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago? 

 

Description of Ailment: 

[Please provide photos if possible] (I will try to get photos tonight)

It started with my mom noticing Tae's belly was a bit pinkish and then it just seemed it was getting slightly more pink and her hips/upper thighs and stomach are pretty pink or losing a bit of fur. She has been eating a bit more some nights and a bit less others, but water intake is the same. She is super active and nothing else is off, except she is grooming a bit more than usual.

 

Any specific physical changes:

[For example, sudden weight loss, localized weight gain]'

(Answered above) Increase and decreased appetite depending on the night and a little excess cleaning and grooming - but not much else. 

 

 

My mom is thinking about getting a vet appointment, and wants me to research.

She is pretty worried about Tae, so I would appreciate any answers.

 

Any ideas what this is?

I will try to get photos if that helps.

I would like pictures. To me this sounds like either in heat or natural hair loss. Another thing that pops in my mind is bloating. Is she using the bathroom alright?
