Question
I live in Keene and I have been searching for a vet in my area. "Elvis" has a bald spot on the top of his head that he has been scratching. I keep his cage very clean and make sure he eats the right foods. Please give me any advice you may have on this and possibly a vet that you may know of! Thank you! Jo

Answer
Jodi,

I think you are talking about Elvis' scent gland, which creates a bald spot at the top of the head in male gliders.  

I don't know of any vets in your area.  Do a search for vets who work with exotics, like birds, lizards, etc.  

I hope this helps.  Good luck.
