I think Eddie loves his Rosie a little too much. She has always demanded that he groom her frequently but Eddie has been doing it so much recently that she's developing bald patches. Since the summer she's had two bald patches on her back here he gives her love bites when he's feeling amorous. The vet has seen then and is not concerned as the skin isn't broken, it's just grazed.
Recently she's developed a bald patch above her nose and she has less fur under her eyes than usual. Last night I checked her over and she has a significant bald patch on her bum just above her tail. Rosie appears to be in good health, her skin is in good condition and there is no skin flakes or mites in her fur. She is moulting at the moment but she does look an odd duck with all her bald spots.
Is there anything I can do? Eddie and Rosie live in a 6 x 2 x 2 ft hutch with 24 hour access to a covered 8 x 5 ft run and time out on the lawn every day. They have a diet of greens, hay and pellets and they have plenty of toys, jingle balls, digging box, plastic tunnel, plastic chair, hide box, cardboard boxes and tubes.
