She is an adorable,loving little friend,but she's had this Balding on and off issue. Diet? She eats well,and nutritionally,drinks her milk,and plays all day. What can be the issue? Adding 3 pics..one of her loving her vitamins as well..

Can you elaborate on the diet? What does she eat on a daily basis? She is awfully cute!

What brand name are her "vitamins" and why do you feel that she needs them?

Is that a plate of seeds she's sitting on in the third picture?

If you were in a humid environment I would consider a case of Dermatophytoses - more than likely a dietary deficiency. Is she following the Henry's diet and adult HHB's / quality rodent blocks? In cases like this when the cause is dietary MBD sometimes follows the hair loss.

Do you think it is possible that she is doing this to herself by over grooming and scratching? I ask because it looks like the hair loss is in areas that are easily accessible for her to lick, and the pattern over her shoulders looks a little like the arch her back legs might make from scratching. Does she seem itchy at all? Also, you say she has the problem on and off...does it seem to change with the seasons? Is her bedding always washed with the same detergent? Does she sometimes get some foods that she does not get other times? Maybe it is somehow allergy related.

She is on the Henry diet,and still drinks her milk shake. Puppy milks(the correct one)kale,henrys blocks,broccoli,avocado,and an apple to add a sweetness. I blend it all together and they love it! I dont give her any nuts.She does not scratch,so I know shes not itching. The vitamins are new. Someone on the board stated its good to incorporate. Its Zupreem Fruit Blend flavor with natural flavors small pellets fortified with essential vitamins and minerals for small birds. Maybe shes lacking sunlight? yet my others are fine, I do have the uv light,maybe I should use it more than I do,but again the others are fine.I dont get it,,
