No it’s not it seems dried now. I tied touching it with a Q-tip that was wet and it had some hood satin at the top by that was a couple hours ago and it’s not doing that anymore. I don’t have to pull it out do I? I’m a bit scared lol. Thanks

No you don’t have to pull it out. If it starts bleeding again apply some cornstarch to the general area.

I’m not sure how. I refilled her pellets a little after 2 in the afternoon and I came back at 7 and saw the red feather thing. I’m not sure maybe from biting at some of her toys? Or is biting at the side of the cage a possibility? I’ve noticed that she’s been biting at the side of the cage sometimes.

I’ve actually put a little corn starch power before when I noticed it. Some went in her mouth though, is that bad? I have her some water very quickly after that happened

It’s ok because you gave her water.

Maybe she needs more chewable toys so she doesn’t bite the bars?
