Patch on head/nose

[Maura]

My baby has this reoccurring bald patch just on the top of her head/nose, and while it does grow back, she keeps getting it somehow. I thought it could be molt/kitten syndrome but it's such a small area that I'm not sure, especially since she never completely loses her hair in the spot, it's only really the top layer and jagged looking, like it's a habit of hers that's doing it. I want to figure out what's she's doing to get this to make sure she isn't hurting herself or anything, or if it is molt, how I should change her diet. Any help?

This is what the patch looks like. Sometimes it's worse than others.

Does she by chance bite the bars of her cage?
This looks a lot like where they rub their fur off while
biting at the cage bars.
Can you post a photo of the cage?
What is her diet like?
She's a cutie for sure!:klunk

my Lilo had the same thing. after finding info on here about cage rubbing i started leaving her out more and it grew back in. so more than likely the same thing.

Mine got that on the same spot and sometimes on the cheek from cage rubbing. I added more wood and toys for them to chew and changed the out every other day so they didn't get bored. It grew back.

I figured it was her cage. I guess that means I should be taking her out more, thanks!
