It does wash off but it takes some rubbing-which makes me think it could be sap. There are no other marks on the cage or anything else that that... He seems healthy otherwise, no signs of an RI.

That's probably what it is. I've seen it in cypress mulch before.

Ah. Of course. That's the kind I had in my rat cage, and it gets bleah when it gets wet. :)

Not trying to blast ya there, just asking why you used that stuff. Should have known someone told you. Good work learning the right stuff!
