Symptoms

Raw spots on head/snout.

Cause

• hungry
• looking for a mate
• enclosure too small
• not enough places to hide
• mites

Treatment

If your Dum has developed any raw spots on its head, flush the wound with diluted chlorhexidine or iodine and treat with a triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin (not the pain-relief formula). If all other factors have been ruled out, consider getting a larger enclosure and/or providing more enrichment items (loose substrate, additional hides, etc).
