I’m a proud owner of four rats. One of these, a female, has suddenly started developing a lot of gray and white hair behind her ears and around her shoulders. I have two of her siblings who are the same age, but they both lack the grey hair. The female in question has given birth before (back in October of ’05). But she currently does not seem to be stressed. Could somebody please provide me with an explaination for this?
She lives in the same enviornment as her siblings, and is on the same diet.
