    Default Thin hair patch

    Bonnie and Clyde are 13 wks old. They we’re rescued around 5 days of age and thriving. Bonnie has a thin patch of hair developing on the back of her head (pic attached). Is this anything I should worry about or treat?

    Is it possible that she is rubbing that spot on a nestbox doorway or other opening?

    Not that I’ve noticed, but I’ll keep a watchful eye. She and her brother play very aggressively. I first thought he might be pulling it out, but I haven’t seen evidence of him doing so.

    I recently realized that I, myself, have created "balding" on my NR's ears. Too much ear rubbing!
