Hello,
Firstly, thank you for all the info on this forum! It’s the first time I’m posting but I’ve been reading resources on here for weeks. You guys know your stuff!
I have adopted a 2.5 year old Nosey Be male who hasn’t been properly looked after, I would really appreciate some help rehabilitating him as I want to give him the best home
Firstly I wondered if someone could check his general appearance, he has white markings on his nose and around the eyes that I’m unsure about? On the nose it has a rough texture like the skin has been rubbed or something like old shed is attached?
He also has what look like wrinkles / excess skin along his side and around his front arms. Is it Edema or simply being skinny? (He has been raised on a poor diet of just mealworms & calcium powder with no D3)
I will write a follow up post detailing full husbandry - his current set up is entirely wrong so I am creating a new enclosure for him that I would really appreciate feedback on.
Thank you in advance for your time & help!
I want to give this guy the quality of life he deserves.
Katy
