Hey everyone, I recently noticed my glider has another bald spot on the opposite side of his stripe. It looks exactly like his spot on the other side which I know is his "scent gland" spot. He is a non neutered male, is it normal that he has more than one spot on his head? There are no bald spots anywhere else on his body, just those two. I'm extremely worried nonetheless. Any advice is appreciated thank you!!!!!!

Are these bald spots above the eyes? He should only have one bald spot in the middle of the stripe.

If they are on the side of the stripe then he may be over grooming. Over grooming can be caused by stress and boredom.

A picture would be very helpful :)

That is a common spot for over grooming. Maybe he is stressed or bored?
