I highly recommend asking this queston at the deaseses and treatment form, that might help with the answers.

My niger gets those often. At first I was worried too, but I think they're just scratches and they come and go. Dont fret too much, just keep an eye out and make sure he only has 2 or 3 at a time. Its very common and I dont think its a disease or a parasite.
