:hair: I've had this chin for about two years now, and NEVER have had a single problem with him, until I brought him home a new friend after his old cagemate found a new home. When I put the other boy in there with him, they were the best of friends, but the other male pulled out HUGE chunks of fur from the original chin's side, to the point where i could see his skin, and a LOT of it. Of course, I separated the two, and the fur has been growing back nicely until about 2 days ago, when I noticed a new patch of missing fur. So now he's doing it to himself.

Here's what it looks like. It looks a bit better in the picture than it does in reality. His skin looks very dry as well, so maybe it's itchy and that's why he's pulling the fur?
I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to fur/skin problems so i'm at a total loss.
