Fur changes

[Eejay]

Ive been going through the forums and for the life of me i cannot find any similiar info. Lilo's fur has changed gradually. Its short on top of her thighs and her lower back. Its rough feeling as well. It is quite thick i cant see her skin when i try to separate an area close to base area of her tail. I cannot get a good pick.she just wont co operate. I tried taking video to take still shots from but that didnt work out either

I was thinking it was molting. I am worried because she is a picky eater. She is down to one formula feeding a day pretty much. And only 20ml or so. Im trying to provide her a healthy diet. So worried it was nutritional.
Going to actually figure out nutrional info on all healthy foods and plan a food routine. Instead of picking things randomly. And installing uvb lights this weekend . lol i hope watching how her hair grows in, is faster than watching grass grow.

With her starting to wean herself you definitely want to make sure she's eating some type rodent block.

Thats what i was using as my shopping guide. Have issues since day one getting her to eat block. I tried yogurt. Then coconut oil on it. Ive just made home made blocks with henrys vitamins. She is nibbling them a bit. Im cutting back on offering veggies early in the day. Hoping her hunger will get her eatting more block. I offered her veggies after dinner today instead of during the day.

Whats the verdict on collard greens. Many post say they are good for them freely, yet the guide says to avoid.
