My Tail

What could be causing this? Doesn't act like it bothers him. Doesn't bother it at all, scratching or picking at it or nothing.

:Welcome What a cutie pie!! A few questions to help our rehabbers answer you better:

From the context of the pictures, are we correct that you've had him since he was a baby? And this is an "inside squirrel"?

Is the loss of fur recent/sudden? Does it seem to be spreading up or down?

Any sort of injury to his tail recently? (we had one squirrel who got caught and sort of skinned her tail on one side ....). Is he an "only squirrel" or have any siblings that could have gone after his tail? other pets? Or was his tail perhaps already injured when you found him and the fur loss might be related to that?

Your answers will help us help you. :)

Could it be from "Over Grooming" the tail? - this happened to one of the three Sugar Gliders I have.

Cute friend you have there...:D
I had a Red squirrel, Riley who's tail looked like that. Are there any bumps or redness? Scrawny tail issues, usually something to do with nutrition. What type of foods are you feeding him? Here's a link to Riley's thread:

post #32 shows his tail

Any info you can give about any changes to his "domain" too, any new fleece, bedding, etc. or is he even an inside squirrel?
