Yes, she is female.

It's in about three spots, but they are not all at the base.

I feed her Fiesta mouse and rat food, plus some healthy treats, and berry treats every now and then.

From what I could see, there are no cuts.
Answer Hello Amber,
Everything you ae doing is great. So it just seems like a case of boredom, so a friend would be a good idea (all rat need friends). If not it could be a case of migths, which she will need taking to the vets.
