I seen this 2 days ago and think its a scab on his nose?..
He has had a few spats with zach and whizzes around the cage like a looney..
Can anyone shed any light on it?
Its hard and feels crusty...
I'm extra cautious as with losing one yesterday

It is difficult to say from the photo, but I would suggest a trip to the vets to be on the safe side.
It could be just a bump, or it could be some from of skin problem (like ringworm) which will require treatment.

I would give your vet a call tomrrow during regular opening hours and set up an appointment.

Hi! It is hopefully just some dried boar stuff stuck on the nose; it doesn't look like a fungal infection at this stage. Please keep an eye on it and see what happens when it comes off. If in doubt, please see a vet.
