Oh no...
Tyrone's wheel is situated against one of the walls of his cage, but he sometimes squeezes his body between the wheel and the glass...I don't think much of it - I've read that they like to burrow, so I just chalk it up to him enjoying the squeezing between things. Tonight though, I passed by his cage several times and noticed that he hadn't moved from his spot against the glass in quite some time. Thinking he may be stuck, I pulled the wheel away from the wall, and he immediately sprinted into his hut.
When he came out a little later, I noticed an white dot on his face...after taking him out, and getting a closer look, it appears the fur is completely gone from that spot on his face. :-( The mother in me is worried that her child is hurt...what happened - what did he do to himself? Is there further damage that I can't see?? :-(((((((( Poor guy....

Poor Tyrone.
Awwww ... that's awful.
Miles' butt got stuck in this hole fortunately while I was looking.
Otherwise, he would've been in the same predicament as Tyrone.
Hope his lil' patch grows back ... but if not, it is kinda cute. : )
LOL - I can picture the little legs squirming below the hole now...how cute! (and traumatic for him, at that same time, of course. lol) No signs of hair coming back, at this point...but, you're right - it is kinda cute! :-)
