Well....all was well with my 3 little males. but yesterday I noticed one had like a black bald patch on his nose. I thought he was developing a black marking (lol! OK....but I'm a novice!). But this morning, the patch seems bigger and his brother seems to be starting the same thing (same side as well, slightly on the right sideof the nostrils). Apart from that they are very active, eat and drink, play and come and greet me. Soooooo ! Of course I'm upset because I want what's best for them. They are 6 weeks olds and I've had them for 2 weeks. They are in a big tank with lots of wood toys. I use pine shavings but I store those in a big open cardboard box so as to air it. If it is an allergy to pine (they were born and bred on pine shavings), wouldn't it have started earlier rather than now (i.e the folllowing days I got them) ? I can't find any supplier of Aspen or Carefresh that's why I used pine. The only thing I have changed recently is the nesting stuff. I have used toilet paper made from recycled paper. Could this be what they are allergic to (if it is an allergy) ? It may sound stupid but I'm worried sick as I've grown very attached to them.
TIA Catherine
