blue spots

I bought an albino and a snow corn today. There are some black/blue spots along their belly; what does that mean?? Bruises?

Don't worry, mine often have them as well. It may be partially digested food. It should not be a problem.

Thanks. I heard it was an iron deficiency or something.

My snow and amels also show "dark" spots under their skin. Funny, they move and soon come out as dark spots on the aspen that I have to clean out.

I wouldn't worry unless the corn acts sick, doesn't eat, etc. Just make sure it has plenty of fresh water to move those spots through.
