My hamster has brown stuff coating his front feet. I tried taking some of it off with a tweezers and he started squeaking. Doesn’t anybody have any idea what this is?

So earlier today, my hamster kept twitching his leg while not moving. And I thought he was having a seizure or something. And then he would move his face and back legs in and out of the same position about 5 times in a row. So I don’t know if he just had seizures or what, but i need an answer

For Emma- you are right you’re dear hamster needs to see a vet and might have mites on skin. Tell mum & dad that if it was a cat or dog would they ignore it? Little animals deserve our care and you are quite right Emma! Try ringing vets instead and speaking to vet if mum n dad won’t take it x

My parents won't take my hamster to the vet. They keep saying he's going to die soon anyway. He looks like he's in so much pain 24/7. His skin is flaky, he has lots of hair loss, his weight has dropped rapidly and he has a lump on his mouth. I honestly don't know what to do but it makes me so sad to see him this way. I don't want his last days THAT painful. He's been like this for two-three months at the max and my parents will not to anything to help. I've tried things, but it's not working. And I'm always being told off for it.

My dwarf hamster has like a bump and hair loss and its red around its tail area. I don't have any idea what it is and need some help to figure out what's going on. There doesn't seem to be blood and she is acting normal but it just looks very sore. Thank You.
