Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what this white mark is? I thought it might be my girl in heat, but as they're my first chins, I just wanted to double check as I'd hate for it to be an infection and do nothing!

I've also had a quick look at her, sorry for the fact she decided to poop right as I was taking the photo..... There doesn't seem to be any discharge coming out of her, nor does she seem any different in herself. The area around it does seem a tiny bit matted but nothing too significant, and there's no bad smells or anything that would normally scream infection. If anyone has any ideas it would really help to put my mind at rest!

I know it might sound weird, but when my chinchilla pees on cardboard, when it dries it turns white like this. So I'd say it's just dried urine.
