Lucy (my insatiable groomer!) is at it again, and giving her sister Mindy another bald spot on her neck by constantly chewing at her fur. There is no scabs or fighting so i'm assuming it's not bothering Mindy, just hate seeing a big ol' bald spot in her pretty coat. Is there anyway to discourage this behavior.

We had this very same problem. So we picked up that stuff you buy to prevent children from sucking their thumps and we would dab it in the area that was being barbered and the rat actually stopped barbering.

Thanks for the advice, i'll see what I can find at the pet store... guessing bitter apple would work.
