So at the rescue we have a pair of females named Moo and Reese.
I was looking Moo over and noticed she had a line of fur loss on her nose, with the skin being scaly/bumpy in the area.
Since i had a problem like this with my boy Rigby, my first thought was that it's a fungal infection.
Her cage mate, Reese, has nothing like this though.
I went ahead and put Monistat on the area just in case, and we're going to see if that makes it begin to clear up at all, but I wanted some opinions on it.
Sorry, I know it's not a great picture:
She also has another problem that worried me a little bit.
She has this bump where her belly button is. We examined her cage mate and Moo's appeared to protrude more than Reese's does.
I'm not sure if that's normal or not, I was worried maybe that meant that Moo has a hernia there or something similar?
Here are the best pictures I could get of it:
