I had a similar problem with my rat, George. First, make sure the younger rat isn't hurting her. Just watch them- if you never see them fighting, then that probably isn't it. It could also be an allergy to bedding. Try switching the type of bedding you use. If that still doesn't work, I have a great solution. Try mixing a small amount of olive oil in with the food. It helps their skin, so if she has sensitive skin this is great.
