Okay I just got the two baby girls tonight and the first thing I noticed was were their black markings on their head there was like baldness all around the markings. So is this normal? also they were on pellets and such before I'd got them so could that have something to do with it? these little girls are very cute and I can't wait to start playing with them and introduce them to my little boy so yeah please help thank you before hand

If they are female, there should not be bald spots anywhere. Missing fur between their black marking on their head and their ears is normally caused by overgrooming :( Just be sure to get them to a vet to get checked out. I'm sure they're ready for a real diet and great care. Post pics soon or we get a little scary. lol

Females don't have bald spots, males do. Are u sure they are females, if so I would do like kyro said and take them to the vet. Plus I would change the diet from the pellets to a better food source.

Bald spots on top of females' heads that are symmetrical from overgrooming is the only way I've seen them.
