Baldness is usually due to ringworm, a fungal infection, or due to fur being rubbed off by over grooming or by being rubbed off against a wheel or other toy. BTW, this list is about to close and most people have moved to the new Gerbil Mailing list at Topica.com. Instructions on how to move to the new list have been sent regularly. -- Julian [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Gerbil Society http://www.gerbils.co.uk/
