Is Keir Starmer Really Going To Arrest...

Does anyone know if its normal for a hamster to start losing its fur?
Mine has lost some fur on his back end and I wondered if this was normal or if he has mites or something. (Just wanted to check before spending a fortune at the vets or on some mite powder that is no good coz its totally normal for him to lose his hair.)
Thanks
EJ
