Default Dwarf with crusty underbelly...

Hey everyone!

My little dwarf hamster, Gizmo, has been acting normal and I haven't noticed anything wrong with him or different in his behaviour, but about a week ago I noticed that his under belly was abit crusty. It seemed like it had been wet but then had dried.

I decided to keep an eye on it but it is still the same. I haven't noticed it actually be wet and I've never felt/seen wet on him anywhere. And as I said his behaviour is completely normal.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Thanks a lot in advance (:

Is it in the middle by any chance? I'd guess its his scent gland, males in particular can have them get crusty sometimes

I would also guess that it is his scent gland
