Matting?
« on: July 15, 2012, 01:46:45 PM »

Snickerdoodle has matting on the top of his head. I think it may be because I accidentally touched him when my hands were wet, but I'm overly cautious so I just want opinions.

Moisture can definitely cause that. So can pushing the top of the head against a water bottle spigot. You can try to comb it out but it might go away after the next dust bath.
