Then there is Rhia, shes suddenly started pulling her fur out. I cant see where its coming from, and I know it could be a phantom but shes not showing any other behaviour, and hasnt built a nest from the fur. Shes not even being grunty or lunging atm :?

^ That fur is just from one night

Any advice appreciated,

Thanks, Becki Xx
 
The bald patch looks like the guard hairs have come out and left the undercoat. Have they been scrapping?

Could be a bad moult I guess.
 
Scarlett had a bald patch not long ago and it turned out she was just moulting and Trip was grooming her back which didnt help :lol: Both my girlies have pulled out fur and them just left it scattered around the hutch instead of building a nest, but not since they have been spayed :D
