Mouthrot would not apear as a hole but as an accumlulation of a cheesy looking material.
Unless I am overlooking something I don't see anything in the picture that would concern me.

That looks like its just how he is! Might be an old injury or something. Looks healthy to me.

Re: Should I Worry?

My guess would be it's an old injury but I'd still have him see the vet. Two of my igs were more or less rescues and both had multiple scars from being chewed up from another animal, most likely a dog. My Yosh, poor little guy has a droopy left bottom lip from being bitten and a few missing teeth plus missing spikes and lots of bite hole scars. They can also injure themselves on their cages from rubbing their little noses up against stuff trying to escape. I'd wonder what kind of cage he had to start with. Good luck, he's a cutie.
