I have noticed that my satin mice have more red skin on their nose than the non satins.
They are very well, healthy and happy but this sometimes bothers me.
Have you noticed anything like this?

You can see on this photo that the fawn mouse is satin and the white mouse is non satin, see the colour of the skin on the nose (or what do you call the part of the face near the nose haha)

The whisker bed appears to have more skin, but in reality, it's just that the hairs are hollow (all satin hairs are hollow) so you can see more skin there because there's naturally less fur in that area. :)

Yes of course, their hairs are hollow. Good to hear :D and confirm that they are still very healthy.
