Baby D I noticed these spots the other day and started using athletes foot cream. Winston I noticed today now had a few spots.
They have coire in their hide. Although I do not keep it wet the next day there is a wet spot maybe from peeing? I can never get to them as they always poop in their hide before I can bath them. I removed all the coire in the hide and sanitized. I put some sphagnum in there for now. Until i can figure this out. I changed to coire a while back in their hide because the poop clumps up and is easy to clean, whereas bark or anything else it gets smeared
and pushed i. Thanks for any help. I could bathe them at 6:30 before the lights come on at 7 am?

No it doesn’t. There is a little athletes foot cream in spots so you might see that. But the circle spots do not wipe off. Someone suggested it might be start of marbling?

Marbling usually starts in the grow lines. I would just keep putting athletes foot cream a few days and see if it goes away.

Everything is looking a-ok. Spots are not getting bigger, may be if anything healing and smaller. Not sure if they were abrasions from the shale pieces I removed.. Ive been using Hibiclens 1:10 solution diluted with water and a soft toothbrush lightly to clean the area. Patted dry and applied 50/50 Athletes foot cream & triple antibiotic ointment with a Q-tip just encase.
If it’s anything I got it in time. :)

Is this just growth lines or start of marbling. He’s only 7 months old, about 2.5 inches.

That looks like grow lines.

One little spot left on Winston and Baby. Caught it quick, whatever it was and the regiment worked good. It’s almost like it never happened.
