lillybettybabs Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Betty has some read patches in between her toes, Could this be scale mite starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I don't think so as they burrow under the scales, and there aren't any scales between their toes. Do you have any photos? If you have a permethrin based spray then it won't do any harm to give them a quick puff, but it sounds like they are just sore TBH. If you have any tea tree cream then smear some of that on as it's very soothing. I use it on my hands when they're sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 How old is Betty? Many birds as they reach maturity get red patches on their legs and feet Unless it looks sore I'd probably not worry too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
