In this picture the light discoloration on the affected foot is formula.

This is the 'rest' of him. This missing hair doesn't seem to affect him anywhere else.

Since PeeWee started eating...or rather 'sucking on' real food....THIS has happened. I don't know if the two things are related but I distinctly remember him sucking on a grape and then vigorously cleaning this foot when he got sticky grape yuck on his foot from holding the grape down to suck on it.
I've checked his cage. I've watched him for hours at a time hoping to reveal the possible source of the problem. Nothing. It doesn't appear to be bothering him, itching him, and he's not favoring it in the slightest. I can't catch him licking it either.
He's never been exposed to other animals and washing of hands, etc is done thoroughly EVERY time I so much as put my hands near is cage. He's still being fed formula....four times a day.... 15-18 cc's. He's picking at grapes, cheerios, pumkin seeds and skinned apple.
It did get larger initially( you can barely see it in the 10-3 pic, but it doesn't seem to be "growing' now. It's not 'fuzzing over' and it doesn't appear flakey, extremely dry or scaley. I've checked him thoroughy for mites and fleas..with a magnifying glass. He's also treated periodically with Adams flea spray. I just don't know. I just wanted to let you guys look at it and see what you think before I run up another vet bill. I have NO problem at all taking 'Wee' to the vet, don't get me wrong. I really just don't want to take him over something simple just because I'm paranoid....and that spot on my baby boy's foot is bothering me A LOT!
