Ok, I noticed about 2 weeks ago that my pw Charlie had a massive bald spot (about an inch and a half around). There is no redness, no flaking, no anything except his pink skin. So anyway, I noticed that there was no fur at all in the cage. He does have a cage mate, which is how I figure he lost it (there were no bite wounds though), is it possible one of them ate the fur? They've been fine and I haven't remembered to ask on here until now, but it's still concerning me that I never found the evidence? I mean, for a fur slip that large, there HAD to be a lot of fur! Any ideas?
 
sometimes It gets spread so much there looks like a layer of fuzz in the cage or in the carpet. If they were running around it may have just been spread in
 
Sometimes they do eat the fur too. I've noticed when trying to intro chins that if one gets a hold of the other's fur and pulls it out they sometimes eat it.
