I know that there was a thread about the "Rhino ball" http://heathersherpsblog.blogspot.co...hino-ball.html that seems similar to what may be going on with my male pastel, but I wanted to get opinions. I have a male 2010 pastel, about 600g, who I noticed a few weeks ago has a small lump on his nose. It is a raised spot right above his nostrils, right in the middle where those larger scales are. It is not red or discolored at all, it just looks like the scales are raised, like a pimple or something. Could he be roaming his tub at night rubbing it or something? Is there anything else it could be? He also hasn't eaten in a few weeks, and this is the first time he has been off food. I know if he isn't losing weight I shouldnt worry about that, but it has me worried coupled with this nose thing. He just shed perfectly, no other abnormal behaviors. I'm afraid he's ready for the ladies. But I want to make sure it isn't anything bad. I posted a while back because I thought he had an RI, but must have just been something in his nose, cause the whistle stopped the next day. He's my first bp and my baby. I know that pictures will help tons, but the ones I have stink. I will try to attach them tonight, but I can't get them from my phone to photobucket so I will have to try something else.
