skin around eyes and nose turns a pale shade of pink

[carlsjr]

ive noticed that the skin around Luna's eyes and nose will go from white to a pale shade of pink. is this normal, have you noticed this on your congo?

 

im sure its normal its just her getting excited and the capillaries dilating because she is excited about something.

It`s called blushing just like in a human due to embarrassment, emotional stress, lovestruck. It`s normal and it`s kind of cute to see when you know what it is.

Yup. Rikki my cag does that alot, mostly when she gets upset! IF I try to give her a spritz bath which she HATES! she gets so red that you think she's going to burst!
