OK, so, I decided to groom Toby this evening. He has been super-fluff lately, so I figured a little grooming would be OK. There was one patch of fur on his right hip that just keep coming and coming. I kept brushing it, and before I knew it, Toby has a bald spot. What the heck?! I wasn't YANKING on his fur, either. I was just gently brushing from his shoulders and down to his bunny-butt. Why would all the hair fall out of that ONE area so easily? It was coming out in tufts! I mean, I know he's shedding and some areas come out before others, but should he have gone bald in that spot? I got a lot of hair off of him, though. Here are some pictures of the grooming session!

After:
You can see where his hair has been brushed... The darkest area around his bum is where the bald spot is.
Extra fluff (my poor bathtub!) You should have seen the amount that came off my clothes! :shock:
Close-ups of the bald spot...
Any suggestions? I swear I didn't yank his fur out! The skin is white and healthy-looking, no blood or redness (I saw one TINY little area, but nothing even note-worthy), and he did not seem to care. The bald spot is less than the size of a nickel.
