One of my rats has started to pull out it's fur. His backlegs are almost completely bald. It looks like chicken skin. Is this from stress or illness? He does scratch himself into scabs often, I'm always treating this one rat because he gets these little bloody spots all over from scratching. I've been looking into mite treatments for them all (I'm sure that if one has them they all have them) and found that Revolution used carefully is the way to go. They are all going to the vet next week so hopefully we can stop this scratching and bleeding bit.
The other rats scratch but NEVER to the point of blood. It makes me feel so bad for him. Now I've noticed his bald back legs. I'll try to get a picture of his legs in a bit.
Light quality is pretty bad but it should give you an idea of the pattern of how he is pulling out his fur.
