Today i noticed my big boy Edgar has a bald spot on his rump.
There is no discoloration of the skin, and the baby Mori doesn't have any so i'm positive it's not mites.
I notice that Mori does a lot of the submissive rolling over and 'suckling' motion of wriggling underneath Edgar on his back. Is he maybe just grooming him too hard? I also notice Edgar doesn't seem to like when Mori does this, today he made a very upset groaning noise and ran away when Mori did it. Is there a way to discourage Mori from doing this? or am i just going to have to let them sort it out themselves?
I also tried a new brand of Timothy Hay and dry food, could this be the cause?
Thanks
