Fur loss

[kimiko]

My one rat has some fur loss on her head. It wasn't like that yesterday! I don't see any scabs or redness, and she doesn't seem to be itchy. My other rat's fur is fine.
Any ideas?

I sent the pic to the vet I work with (I'm a vet tech) and she suspects barbering. I was thinking that, but never experienced it with my other rats.

that was my thought too

Barbering was my first reaction as well!
