P.S.

I dont think it is from kicking them off. there is no reason he should. i dont handle him or scare him in any way to my knowledge, so i dont think that is a factor, unless it is just stressed.:?

1 Some T.s kick hairs off from the slightest movement, say you feed it.


2, it's probably getting ready for a molt.
