Tail turned green?

[J.huff23]

While doing a weekly cleaning of my rats cage, I noticed that she has a blotch of green on her tail? What could this be?

Is it a poo stain? Try washing it off.

Ok. I will give her a bath and see if it comes off.

I tried to wipe it off and it doesnt look like its coming off.

Do you have any green pieces of wood in the cage? Or something with green dye? I know my rat got wet once, went in his edible log and got a permanent red stain on his coat from it. Just an idea =)

Well....she was eating a piece of celery this morning...could this be the problem, if so im going to feel pretty stupid.


@ Clam, I dont have a good camera.

Sounds about right. If she pee'd on something or if something was wet and her tail rested on it it probably transfered. I've had this before. Just give her a bath. If it doesn't come off it will on it's own. As long as it's green and not blueish you're alright.

Ok, cool. Thanks everyone.
