Pieter D,
This is from Dexter. Alopecia is not an uncommon condition among zoo animals apparently. Grains/gluten? Phytate? I believe these are also possible dietary culprits... Recently we obtained a guinea pig whose native diet is all high vitamin C vegetables and fruit (and possibly an occasional grub). There is no guinea chow in the pet stores that does not contain grains and/or gluten, which is not part of their native diet. The same was true for our 3 cats when we had them. Currently there is a lot more offered in terms of carnivore-style cat chow and many high end pet stores offer frozen raw meat.
Personally I think bald is SEXY and for some odd reason hairless humans have a special place in my heart... High Testestorone and DHT are not necessarily unhealthy are bad, and I came across one medical article regarding the protective effects against prostate cancer.
Hope you find interesting as well!

This should be normal:
