Default Re: My Robo has got Alopecia

Sorry your post title says Robo! I didn't know about moults either, but Souffle mentioned it. I was very alarmed when Newt had such big bald patches either side - it was during warmer weather in his first year when a few months old. But it grew back normally and he had no health issues. When I look at the photo now, it looks like a moult - very mangy! If comet is well in himself I would just give it time and keep giving the linseeds I am not sure mite treatment would be appropriate unless there is a definite diagnosis from a skin scraping. Alopecia as a term just means "hair loss".
