So I've just noticed this bald patch on one of my gerbils tail, it's only about 1cm by 0.5cms Big and not completely bald, just the hair is really thin and you can quite clearly see skin. My gerbils haven't been fighting or anything, what could it be?

Any number of things really, a nick on something, a scab healing, an over-energetic groom.
However, have you felt that gerbil all over with your hands especially along the tail and onto the rump and back. If you notice a gritty or bumpy feeling in more than a few places, it could be bites from an early declan.
Let us know what you find after a good rummage...
