I'm afraid that my chinchillas foot (toe, to be more specific) might be broken!
My mother was feeling independent to take my chinchilla to the bathroom to play, on her own; but she doesn't like to hold him..so she let him jump in a cat carrier and...I wasn't in the room so i don't have the finest details, but apparently the carrier lid shut on his little toe....
It bled for awhile, and he wont walk on that foot much...Do you think it could be broken?
I'm new to owning a chinchilla, so I'm really stressed out! I'd rather not take him to the vet if i dont have to. Do you guys know any ways of being sure its broken? If so, what should I do?
I've had my chinchilla for about a month now, and surprisingly our bond is quite close. Although he's still not comfortable with me holding him still...He's 4 months old, for any reason one might need to know...
