Jamie,
You may have brought this up in a previous post, if so I apologize for not
remembering. What kind of litter are they in? Usually the bald nose is
caused by constant wiping at it with the paws due to an allergy. Try
switching their bedding. Carefresh, corncob, and aspen are all good, but
it is possible to be allergic to any of those too.
