    Default Severe tail shedding currently and tweaked behavior....

    Hope you're all safe! A month or so back, my lil guy shed his coat and had two weeks of aggressive behavior. Then he went back to normal. Now he's tail shedding badly, is a lil more bitey, and a lil less playful. Is this normal? Thanks!!

    How old is this squirrel?
    Is it possible he could have mites or some other skin disorder
    causing him to be agitated and acting out with aggression?
    Can you post a picture...

    He's a little over one year old. Can send pics, but all looks normal...no bald spots or anything. But if you know him, the tail looks thinner than before...still full and good...but thinner. Is this the time of year these guys shed? Thanks!!!
