If his nose rub is not too bad, you can just put neosporin or a similar ointment on it.. But as long as he keeps rubbing his nose, it is only going to get worse.

Wire screen is BAD... You will always have problems with it. You can replace the screen with plexi, or use a plastic screen.

For now, try draping a towel over the part where he rubs his nose most. This might help a little bit...

: Hi everyone,
: I have a cage that is 3.5x3.5x5 high, the front has two doors, one on the bottom and one in the middle. The problem I think I have is I have regular metal screen on the bottom, and when Dino wants to get out, he keeps rubbing his nose on it, and it has broken his skin now. I know I need to change the screen, probably to plexiglass, or something less irritating. Does anyone have any hints, on how to stop him from doing this, or better ways I may be able to protect him? Also I do let him out of his cage for several hours a day, when I am home of course. Any help is greatly appreciated.

: Best Regards
