When Lexi stretches her neck out, recently I have been seeing quite a large area of bare skin. It's around the shoulder blades and where the neck meets the body.
I thought it was from moulting, as I heard it can happen, but the fur still has not regrown there and Lola is almost half way done with the moulting now. As Lola is a different colour you can see how much of her fur has regrown, so comparing her to Lexi I think the fur should have regrown there at least a bit by now?
They are both eating fine, poos are normal - large and golden. They still have a big appetite for hay and pellets. Lexi's bald patch is not crusty, the skin looks healthy with no dandruff or scabs. She is not itching or over grooming the area from what I have seen. There has been no fighting and fur pulling either.
Is this getting to the point where I should take her to the vets or does this sound normal? Do you think it is still down to the moult?
If anybody says it is hard to be sure, then she is going to the vets anyway but I want to check I am not worrying over nothing. I can try to get pictures tomorrow if you all think that may help?

some of mine have very soft neck hair that parts and you can see the skin through it (esp on my rex Freckle).. is it like that or an actual patch?
