Ok the problem is this since i have moved her over to the new cage she really likes to eat the umbrella plant, Now i have been noticing that she has heavy white crust in both nostrils. I stopped supplimenting for the last week thinking i was over doing it but it has not gone away. Could this be from the plant? I am a little concerned so any info would be great. Should i be concerned?

OD on that Cocaine. Just kidding . Usually it is from oversupplementing.

well i haven't given her any for a week. Could it still be from that?

Has the "white stuff" around the nose gone away and came back?
Is it the same stuff for a week?
Did you try a shower or heavy mist session to knock it off?
If it hasnt gone away, then it could be skin from a previous shed.

no it hasn't gone away it does seem to be breaking up a little, She hasn't shed for awhile so it's not left over skin. As for the shower she gets really stressed when you try to take her out so i haven't done that but i will try another warm mist. should i spray her directly?

 

[Chase]

Yes, you said you supplement 4 times a week, thats a lot. Twice a month is all you really need.

i will cut back and see if it helps when i start up again, is it ok to cut back so much as she is only 6 months?

 

[Chase]

Ya, they only need that much when they are smaller, actually, I think three times a month should be fine.

I did the same thing with George when I first got him. He had the white stuff around his nostrils for about 2 weeks before it went away.....just keep your cham hydrated
