Vitamin E Deficiency in Hamsters
Often due to an improper diet, vitamin E deficiency can affect a hamster's immune response, making it prone to disorders such as mastitis and anemia. An antioxidant, vitamin E also plays an important role in protecting various cells and membranes in an animal's body.
Providing your hamster with an appropriate, balanced diet is the best way to prevent Vitamin E deficiency in hamsters, though your veterinarian may be able to provide you with supplements.
