We study the scale dependence of the non-linearity parameters f<sub>NL</sub> and g<sub>NL</sub> in curvaton models with self-interactions. We show that the spectral indices n<sub>f<sub>NL</sub></sub> = d ln|f<sub>NL</sub>|/d ln k and n<sub>g<sub>NL</sub></sub> = d ln|g<sub>NL</sub>|/d ln k can take values much greater than the slow-roll parameters and the spectral index of the power spectrum. This means that the scale-dependence of the bi and trispectrum could be easily observable in this scenario with Planck, which would lead to tight additional constraints on the model. Inspite of the highly non-trivial behaviour of f<sub>NL</sub> and g<sub>NL</sub> in the curvaton models with self-interactions, we find that the model can be falsified if g<sub>NL</sub>(k) is also observed.
