Joe67 239 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I know with time of year jills start molting,mothering other jills,draging them to sleeping area etc.My 5 jills are doing this to each other but theres one thats squeels like f**k when shes getting draged about,proper squeels like,the same jill has lost ALOT of hair compared to others,others are molting but this one has lost most of her hair on back and stomach.Hair on head/neck,legs and tail is as it was but what hair she has on back and stomach is very short. theres no broken skin yet where others have been griping her,this could be 100% normal but thought id ask.what yous reckon?
