I've noticed for a week or so now that my bushy-tailed jirds have a thin strip of fur along part of their tails - all three of them. I figured maybe overgrooming or barbering ... any ideas on this? But the more worrisome problem (and a possible "culprit" for the balding tails) I saw tonight ... one jird was chasing another around and around the cage, seemed aggressive. Then later he definitely appeared like he was trying to start a fight with one of them. Both of the other two jirds have been chased tonight and seem a bit scared of the chaser. I don't know how typical this might be for bushy-tailed jirds. The breeder I got them from said she had never had problems with them fighting. They are around 11 weeks old now and are all males. Any comments and advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Emily -- E & K's Critters Kelly, American Eskimo Dog And all the critters RC (0.1) 7f B-- D+ F S!
