losing belly hair

[fire-eyez]

Hello everyone I have a 10 month old grey, and I took him out today to give him his mealies...and I noticed that the hair that is around/ usual covers his wee-wee is very fine. the area closest to his penis is bare. his fur going up to his chest is thin to...(the fur that us to cover his penis was usually yellow in case that is important I never though anyting of the color seeing how its probably his urine causing it when he pees)

he is acting normal and is eating normal and pooping normal..any ideas?

Also....i did notice him rubbing his wee wee along the cage but that only happened twice

How big is his cage? Does he have enough room to be away from where he pees? Does he have any scabs or rawness in that area? If so it could be diaper rash from the pee.

Is he handlable so that you could wash his belly daily with baby wipes that have no alchohol? Or just rinse his belly under the faucet, that would probably work better anyways.

If it is scabby or blistery put Desitin on it. Charlie had the same problem and it worked over night. Can you post a picture of the problem too?

Can you tell us what he eats?

The lives in a double unit critter nation cage so he has plenty of space to get way from the urine, there are NO scabs or an indication that he has been messing with it..(I can handle him I cut hisnails he is sweet)

He eats
rodent blocks (maurzi sorry for spelling)
and three different veggies a day from the approved list on henrypets.com
and once or twice a week I will give him fruit that is alson on the henryspets.com website
I use to give him HHB but he stopped eating them so haven't ordered any he use to love them but ever since it was changed to help with the freshness they got drier and no matter what i do mirowave, water etc he will nibble just a little bit.
