So,
I have a 1 year old neutered male Mini-Rex, who has a 4x4' C&C cage, but has free roam of house from 8am-2am (time I wake up until time husband goes to sleep). We have him on Oxbow pellets, but also likes to munch on millet (bird seed) during the day. He is a very healthy and active little guy, but has developed an odd behavior over the last few days. He is pulling out all his hair on his back. He has about a 3 inch spot where he has pulled out the hair off, down to bare skin. The skin doesnt look irriated, or red, and there are no visible insect bites or insects present (both our dog and rabbit are indoors, and we live in Portland, OR, its cold, not many bugs around). Im getting worried because every morning I let him out, he seems to have another inch of baldness on his beautiful back.
Has anyone else experienced this? If it persists, I am going to take him to the vet next week.
Ill take a picture later tonight. Like I said, no redness or irritation, just a lack of fur.....
Thanks!
