r/Degus

My sweet degu Zila, has a new bald patch on her head and the tip of her tail got (bitten?) Off. I think her sister has done it because they have faught to blood drawn before. But after i seperated her from the rest, the bald patch on her head has gotten bigger. I was thinking it could be from stress, but she obviously cant reach it with her teeth, and i dont think she has the strenght to pull it out with her paws. Does anyone have an idea how i should go about this?

Today Kale had a dental visit. First and second set of molars were getting long. Kiwi checked her sister’s condition in the cuddle pouch then blocked all access (Kale was resting on Kiwi’s rump).

Normally Kiwi will not sit for any amount of time in the pouch.
