White stuff ???

[trott]

Hello all . So on my normal it looks like she's got some white chalky stuff on her head. Any ideas ? Couldn't find that symptom in the books i have.
She's acting fine , eats well and is active at night. Temps are 78-80 on the cool side and 90-94 on the warm side. Humidity at a pretty consistant 55%.
She chills all day in her hide and comes out at night . Just want to head off something that might be coming. Will consult a vet if i don't come up with anythig here. Thanks.

Could it be some urate dust stuck on her head? Thats what it sounds like to me but with no picture I can't be 100% certain. Have you tried wiping it off with a moist paper towel?

never heard onf anything like that, did you wipe it off and see if there was any wounds. Almost sounds like she crawled through her piss, got any pictures.

Sounds like urate residue...

Some animals like to roll in their own bodily fluids.

That's what I call a "Butt Head". Like everyone else, I would "chalk" it up to dried urates. I seem to be full of puns today.

Lol. Butt head. Like that one. I haven't tried to wipe it off but i will. She is super head shy though. It looks almost like a fungus on the top of her head. It's been a couple of months since i completely changed her substrate(aspen) so i'll do that as well.

Thanks.
