What's this?!

[Roni013]

So I noticed this white bump thingy on my pygmy about 2 days ago, I tried to wipe it off with a q-tip but no luck. Is he shedding? Sorry I'm new at this, I'm not sure if I should be concerned, he seems fine otherwise.

Hi Roni
I think it would make it a whole lot easier to help you answer the question if you post a bigger picture of it....

If that is what it appears like it is he needs some extra hydration. If a cham is oversupplemented they will expel salts and what not from their nostrils. This appears to be the case. Not a big deal...cut down on his supplements a little bit and bump up the hydration. Should go away soon enough.

hmm...I guess I was looking at the nostril and you are talking about his ribcage. My mistake, as I am not sure on that one.

I was talking about the white thing near his rib cage but it seems to have mysteriously dissapeared today, go figure
I wonder what it was. Do you guys think he looks healthy otherwise, I've only had him a week and I'm so paranoid I'm doing everything wrong!

maybe he just got a prepubescent pimple?
