Spots Around Mouth

Postby usernames » Sat Dec 15, 2007 12:17 pm

Can anybody give me an idea of what is around my BTS's mouth? It's only on one side and I have had her for 5 days.

Ya, I'd say dried food. Get a warm, damp cloth, and wipe it.

This might sound funny to some but I always give Tattoo a paper towel under his dish at feeding time. He likes to wipe his mouth on it when he's done eating. I think this makes it easier for him to get his mouth clean. :D
