Balding scent glands

[Eric65]

My little hammy who is about 7 months old now and brown in colour, is showing signs of baldness around her scent glands on both hips. There's no redness or flaky skin in the area on both sides. I was wondering if it's because she's rubbing against her cage or items too much and if I should take her to the vet. Just recently, I've changed her hide from a wooden one to a cardboard one to see if that helps.

It might be normal Their scent glands usually are fur-free and they can vary in look and size between hamsters. Do you have a photo of them please?

This is the best shot I could get from one of her videos

Is that actually her scent gland or nearby ir?

Nearby it. But it's not getting bigger
