Hi,
I noticed this spot on Rocky's nose about Oct 26. It looked like he had skinned his nose and the hairs were separated, but there wasn't the loss that there is now. It looks like a zit!!! It's just gotten this noticable in the past few days. Does anyone know what this is? He's been acting fine, I rub his nose and he loves it, so it doesn't seem to be tender???

Hope to hear from someone who may know what this is.

Oops!! I ment bump.................

Hmm...Whatever it is, you probably shouldn't try to pop it. Chances are that'll only make it worse.

It looks like a tiny cyst. Is it attached to the skin or the skull? (does it move when the skin moves?)

Is it itchy? It looks like he might have scratched some of the hair away.

I am wondering now if it could be caused from him chewing on the bars because he wants out of his cage?? He was wound up this morning so I'll wait til later to see if it moves, I am working on my whole spare room as his cage and then an outdoor cage right outside the window.

I think he was 5 wks when I found him, so that makes him 13 weeks this past Sat. What do you guys think of my age guess?

Hi,
I am hoping with more room, he won't be knawing and trying to get out!!
I'm working on finding a job and must go fill out applications!! Would rather stay home and play with my squirrel, but those days are gone for awhile!!

I'll write more when I get home and could use ideas on how much room I should give him, The whole bedroom is probably 10x12, my Dad is going to help me build and enclosure inside the room, but it will be a squirrel room when it is done. Plus a window out to my roof for his outdoor cage.

talk to ya's later.:)
