My new boy Orbit has something wrong with his mouth, I have been trying and trying to get a good pic but because of a crapy camera and a squirmy rat its rather difficult.

But here is a pic I did get.

He eats fine and acts completely normal, I'm wondering if its just an old scar or something??
 
I can't tell exactly what we're supposed to be looking at... is it the kind of cleft-bumpy thing at the bottom of his mouth?
 
It's hard to tell, any scab there? Or does it look natural for him to have a "dimple" there? Does it look like he had a cut/gash there? If it's not bothering him and there's no bad smell, I don't think I'd be worried.
 
There is no scab, I am wondering if it was an old cut/gash that healed weird. No smell and he gets along fine (ie. eats like a piggy)

Here's one more pic, you can kinda see where his mouth isn't flat like it should be...
