Phantom-not sick but fur is odd.

Eagle will have to remind me how old he is. I would guess 4 months or so.

First he is getting these black hairs on his head. They are getting darker and more of them.

He is the whitest white i have ever seen so it is hard to see. He has little bits of thinning hair. He was treated with revo weeks ago so no mites. He is thinning on his back side.

His skin is healthy underneath. I keep checking it.

I see circles in his coat in the last two pics. Could it be something like Ringworm?

No idea what that is, im just a typical owner, thats not something i'd notice off the bat and consider an issue, but it might be for all i know, i hope not :S

The skin is perfectly normal under it. That is the odd part.

I'll need to take pics of my Storm, his aren't perfect circles though. But he's got light spots too. It looks like he's got less fur in those particular areas.

so they just stayed the same? never changed?

Can he still be molting? Changing color?

he is changing colors, those spots on his head are new. He was white totally. It is odd because masked rats dont usually have those spots so I would almost think he is.

He had very light spots in front of his ears even when he lived with me.

I know but now they are going down the back of his head to his neck.
