Stendker Checkerboard Losing Red Markings

Post by Halse »

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out for some help with one of my Stendker Checkerboards. Over the past few weeks, I've noticed he's losing his distinctive red markings - it started around the center of his sides and seems to be moving outward. He's about 5 years old, and apart from this color change, everything else seems normal - behavior, appetite, all good. The red lines are gradually disappearing, and the outer red markings are shifting to an orange color before fading to white. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried? Any advice or guidance would be really appreciated.

I think some photos would really help here. Are you using any food with red enhancers in it?
