I was checking over Denna today and I noticed that she had a few scabs. I gave her a bath and realized her whole backside is covered in them. I thought mites, but I use Boris mats from IKEA to cover my cage and yesterday's news for the litter boxes, neither of which carry mites (well maybe the yn, but that's unlikely). A lot of the bigger scabs are in pairs... was there a fight and she was bitten everywhere?
Another reason why I don't think it's mites is that no one else(I have four currently) has any scabs except for Auri, who had a bite wound that became an abscess. Also, they are not concentrated to any part of her body and do not look like they were caused by scratching; they are small and round. Additionally, she's not itching anymore than usual. There's really only one wound that looks more like a line than a circle, and even then, it's not by much. It's hard to see in the middle picture.
Is there anything I can do to help the scabs heal?
Sorry that the pictures don't really show the scabs all that well.
