Is the hair loss just between the nose and the eyes on the top of their
head?  If so it may be due to excessive knawing on the cage bars.  :)

> I'm worried about my six-month-old female gerbil Mimmi because she has
lost some hair from the top of her head. I was at a gerbil exhibition two
weeks ago and the judge told me already then that she was losing a little
bit of hair and there was a "hole" in her fur in the neck. My questions are
1)what can I do to make the hair stop from coming off (is it her diet or
something that is causing it??) and 2) will the fur grow back and in what
time maybe?
