Hi all,
Question about our boy this time.
I think he's hurt his foot somehow. He seems to be missing a couple of claws and has a patch of skin missing. Pics below. It doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or distress. And its not weeping or bleeding at all. He's climbing around and using all feet as normal. How long should we monitor this before taking him to the vet? Do they heal well on their own?
Ps I have checked his viv for anything sharp/rough and can't see anything. And his climbing ropes outside of his viv have all been checked and tightened. The only thing I can think of is that he climbs the metal mesh sometimes so has maybe caught his claws on this?
He's approx 11 months old.
