Hey everyone,

I have a question about Imp's belly. Around his penis there is a spot of less hair/bald spot. It wasn't always like that but has been that way for a long time, maybe a year? You can usually see a little pee stain on the area so I assumed that he was getting urine on his fur there and it was irritating the area so the hair would fall out.

I just wanted to know if this was normal? Maybe I should be cleaning the area so there isn't any pee there? I think Imp might be a tad overweight, but I'm only basing that on the fact that he is bigger than the squirrels outside. maybe he is a good weight for a squirrel this far north and the ones outside are just skinny? I just mention this because it is possible that the reason he is getting urine on himself is because he is a little overweight and so that area is closer to the ground than is normal?

If you guys need photos I can, of course, take some.

I am not an expert, but I am sure a photo would help the experts when they arrive. I also think that pet squirrels tend to be a bit heavier.

Ok this is the best I could do for photos... Imp just isn't very cooperative with getting photos of this area...

They are not the best and actually make it look a bit worse than it is.. The skin is all pink and healthy. He is just missing some hair around his area...

I though you all might appreciate some of the other pictures I took during the process... these are all me appeasing Imp...

Since the pics are so out of focus I thought a little clarification might help:
