Bald Leg!!!

[SarahJ]

Ive just clean Megans cage and when i got her out i noticed that one of her back legs is completely bald!!! no hair what so ever!! This must have happened only in the last 2 days as im sure i would have noticed it if it happened before.

Shes roughly a yr and half maybe abit little younger. Shes not thinning or bald anywhere else and is being her normal self!

Could this be mites???

Maybe old age? :S im wondering the same as Monster has this too.

It'll be old age, as Shadow recently lost all the fur on her chin and under her neck x

Probably age related I think. Females especially can loose fur around their legs and hips - you could try adding some additional protein to the diet or tofu as it can help.
