Pulling his hair out

[lindsaylbl]

I've posted here before about my pet grey squirrel Rocky. Well, now we have a new problem. We think he is pulling his hair out. We noticed it the first of the week and I thought he had scratched his leg on something. But now it is bigger and I actually saw him with fur in his mouth last night. I will try to post a picture so you guys can see what is going on. If you have any questions or suggestions I will be glad to hear them. By the way, he lives inside and has never been out before. He has an artificial sunlight and we pay very close attention to make sure he gets the right fruits and veggies in addition to his monkey biscuits and nuts.

Thanks for resizing my pic. I was trying to figure out how to do that!

Oh the poor little darling. Unless he hurt himself and won't leave it alone making it look worst have you put anything on it?
Best wishes to you and sweet Rocky

Is something in the house different? Anything that would stress him?

I don't think anything is different. I wondered if maybe he somehow got a flea. Would that cause him to do this? Also, he has gotten a little more aggressive towards people other than me and my husband. Could he be wilding up and thus doing this to himself on purpose?
