Hi,
When I took my Mali out today he had blood dried around one nostril. I assumed that since I have 2 living together, and they like to bury themselves to sleep together, that maybe the female scratched him with her claw. Anyone know if there is a disease or health risk that results in nose bleeds? Thanks.

I've heard of this happening once to a mali that ran into it's cage. I would call your vet if you are concerned that something could be wrong.
