Souffle Quigley has a 12 inch silent runner and the spindle is quite high so I don’t see how he could rub against it - besides which, there is no hair on it. I also cannot find any hair lying around his cage. There are a number of things I suppose he could be rubbing against: bridges, the bottom of his wheel, the entrance to his house. But, again, I can’t find any hair lying around. I also have not seen him itching that spot so it really is a mystery!

Sukirutski Interesting. The vet I am seeing tomorrow specialises in exotic animals, so I expect he will be able to cast some wisdom on what is going on with my little man. Although your ham’s hair loss could be caused by something completely different and only a vet could determine this, I will let you know what the vet says about my ham Quigley.
