My other female, Boomer, has suddenly become VERY anti-social (to other gliders, she's still sweet to people...) so I moved her out of the big cage and into a smaller temporary cage until we can get something bigger built. She is getting major bald spots - started at the base of her tail, then on her right hip area, and they are just getting bigger and bigger. She eats and drinks well, looks healthy otherwise, nice clear, bright eyes, no nasal discharge, etc etc. My breeder says she is upset and bored at being in the cage alone, so is pulling her hair out. I bought her a hamster ball, since some of you have been having such great luck with them. She HATES it! Maybe because I have tile floors, so she goes awfully fast...

Anyhow - it IS possible that Puddin' is getting a bald spot - although, how she could pull hair out above her eyes remains a mystery.

Good luck solving it!
