Thank You all who replied personally to me with the adrenal info, I did mistakenly post the info about symetricality, I goofed - I do apologize for the misinformation. I just saw my vet, which specializes in small animals, he has some suggestions as well. However, 1 &1/2 months ago, i changed my celing fan, and the lighting in their roon. The previous lighting was those long lasting simulated 'outdoor light' light bulbs. The new fan didnt have the same receptacles (cheap-o'!) and were were smaller incamdescent bulbs. My fert thats losin the hair has had that 'natural' lighting since i got him as a kit in 2004. I had not considered that subtle change (subtle to me) until yesterday. Its the last thing I can think of that has changed in their environment. Any thoughts on that? The other ferts are resuces, and came from different situations.They have grown fuller thicker coats since the lighting change. Howard Dabrawsky II [Posted in FML 5729]
