Default little bloody nose

Yesterday afternoon, Lil was stirring from her slumber and poking her nose out of her hideaway to have a sniff around.

I noticed she had what seemed to be a very small amount of blood on her nose.

I manage to take this photo

When she was awake later I had a good look and her nose was no longer bloody, nor did it look cut or sore.

Is this something I should be concerned over?

FYI - it wasn't from any of her food and, as far as I am aware, she hasn't been gnawing on the bars..

I will of course keep an eye on her and take her to the vet if it persists!

It doesn't look too sever to me however I'm not much of an expert on these types of things. It could be that she just scraped her nose on something.

Maybe just keep an eye on it. Are you sure it's not food she's been sticking her nose in? Does she have anything soft in the way of food in the cage?

Ah she does have a walnut in the shell that a made a small opening in to encourage her to break open. Perhaps she hurt her nose on that.

This was a few days ago now and I haven't seen any other signs of bleeding/discomfort etc so fingers crossed it was just a little nick that's healed now
