i dont think its scale rot. we've got a burm that had a nice cage before we moved. when we moved it broke and was unrepairable. we had to board him at a pet store that i'd heard wonderful things about. when we went to pick him up he was in a tiny and i do mean tiny cage. he had rubbed his nose and head raw. the cage was made out of regular plywood. (this is not the cage that they put him in while i was standing there either) Its been quite a while since we moved and his nose is still messed up. its gotten better with each shed but i dont think he'll ever be back to his former glamor..... if you have a pic. it would help, i could better compare it to what mine looks like.
hope that helped- im not a vet or anything like that so i cant give you a 100% relaible 'diagnosis' or anything, just sounds like what happened to my Zeus...
