Hi there, I'm a new member that has owned my first GCC for a year now. She is just over a year old. I joined this forum in hopes of finding some information. She has what I would call, "over preened" herself for a long time now. However, she just started plucking about a month or two ago. I am so frustrated and it is breaking my heart to see her this way. I cannot figure out what is causing it or how to stop it! She goes in for a full blood panel in a few days. Every trip to the vet causes her to pluck even more so I've been avoiding it but really need answers.
Is this common in green cheeks?

Hi Turkeymom. Have you taken your baby to the vet? There is a bunch of reasons they can pluck. Giardia comes to mind but I know there are other medical reasons as well as stress. Good luck. Poor little guy. Did you change something?
somewhere out there is a website with things to help pluckers.

Hi Welcome to the forum (: I hope the vet check helps quite abit, it can be from anything medical, to stress and boredom. How much time do you spend with her? How many toys does she have? Did you change anything in her routine? Place anything new into the room ?
Anyway's i hope you can get to the bottom of her plucking ! Im sure we can all help as much as we can (:
