Wort is almost 8 months old; happy, health and spoiled rotten!!!
But I was just wondering if this is normal shedding and regrowth. It looks a little funky around the edges. He seems to have difficulty reaching back there; I don't know if it is from his initial fall from the tree as a baby (because he has a lot of little problems with the whole right side, blind eye, weak front foot and quite clumsy.) But he loves when I give him scruffy scratches back there, he backs up and rubs or will lay out completely flat and has that "I love you" look.

And a SUPER BIG THANK YOU to Jackie!!!
You make the by far the most superior cozy cubes in existence!!!
They are a work of craftsmanship, actually they are truly a work of art!!!
Wort (Mr. Cautious) who doesn't like any change and the only squirrel afraid of heights couldn't even wait for it to get into his "tri-level condo"

yes that tail moult thing is quite common; I usually see it in the fall with my released kids but have seem them do it in springtime as well. Sometimes they get what I call the "balloon animal tail" :D
