Fur Seperation
«

Ok so some of my suggies are displaying fur seperation, not hugely badly, but their coats are not half as velvety as they should be. Just wondering what I can do diet wise to combat this?
Here's what their mix consists of usually:
1/3 - 1/2 papaya
2-3 apples or pears
handful of frozen berries
small amount of glider cal
that is the base mix, I then usually add one or more of the following depending on ratio:
butternut squash
sweet potato
rosemary
plum
more recently I've also been adding bee pollen and acacia gum most days.
They then get 4-5 iams biscuits each, and I also treat them with bits of dried papaya, mealworms and pine nuts (these 3 are all hand fed, or hidden around the cage)
Any ideas what I could add/remove/change to help improve fur quality?

im sure its not any problems, maybe just time of year, mines coats will have a week or so where they go a little rough but it comes back. i only add extra vits, bee pollen, glidercal that kind of thing once a week, if yr feeding a good diet then its more a little extra now and again.
