Hey guys! Does anyone think this may be a possible ruptured abdomen on my B. hamorii? It doesn’t appear to have broken through or leaked at all, but should I be concerned with her health? She’s a great eater and I haven’t noticed this injury until today and I vigorously check on her constantly.

Unless she took a fall that u know of yes it's hair kicking. They will kick them off sometime around their burrows or on their molt mat so the abdomen will bald even if u don't see them kicking!

Sometimes they kick all the hairs off lol. It does make it easier to see when they are in premolt, as the skin darkens to black with the new hairs just underneath.
They'll have a fresh butt on the next molt.
