Hi, I'm a little concerned, one of my pair of female gerbils has one bald front paw. It's very strange, they haven't been fighting or squeaking any more than usual. I'm just concerned. She's not been balded anywhere else (when i first introduced her to her cage mate the other one balded her bottom right under the tail, but she's furry there still now) they have a wire wheel with Bristol (very thick art paper) woven around it, and I've been throwing more Bristol in there for them to chew on. Could it be the wheel or boredom? I'm concerned 'cos it seems unusual. The other one occasionally pulled the fur out of her tail (well, she did before I moved them to an aquarium.) Thanks, Kelly Moore
