Default bald patch :(

gavin has a small bald patch near her nose and i just wondered whether it could be some sort of particular behaviour causing it such as bar chewing.. or whether there could be a more serious cause for it?

thanks to anyone that can help me!

yep bar chewing definitley cause bald patches in the nose.
Keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't rub it sore or injure herself x

i just read this on another post! gavin is very persistant. i'm not sure i can get her to give up bar chewing entirely. its her favourite past time, despite whatever i put in her cage to keep her entertained :/
