A bald/hairless squirrel

I have one running around in the back yard that is hairless except for it's tail .... will try and post a good picture as this one is not that great. He looks grey but it is bald.

I prefer hairless cats myself.

Don't really want to start a Tangent here but I have heard of Featherless Chickens !
That poor Squirrel, must be an old Bugger!

Sometimes a bad worm infestation can cause hair loss.

They are also full of fleas.

Never seen a bald squirrel, as already said maybe mange . A bad thyroid could do it as well .

A little Rogaine ought to fix him up.

Squirrels like any other rodent or mamal shed!

In the spring is when it especially noticeable.

Relax; they only want your NUTS!!!!

good one taureau noir

Well what you all think should I take him out of the gene pool? Sure dont need no mange, a little concerned about my dogs. The bushy tail seems to be eating good and if mange or worms wounder why it still has a full bushy tail

There's a damn racoon that's gonna be bald soon if he doesn't quit coming in my back yard. I chased the peckerhead around my backyard the other night. Damn thing is about the size of my block target. I know that because he thought he could hide behind it till I chased after his dumb arse.

Shot on like that about 35 years ago and his hide was like leather. He was so tough to clean I did'nt even bother to cook him. Hawk

Read that Bob, I will just keep a watch on that bushy tail and see how nature takes care of it. Sure seems like it is doing well and eating good, may just be a real old one, still can't figure why it would be bald all over but still have a full bushy red tail

Nature works in funny ways sometimes, just look at TYE
