Question
I have 2 robo's and lately they have been fighting alot, today i noticed that the little one is limping, one of his back legs in swollen and red(really bad shape, he csn't stand on it), i already separated them, my question is would this get better with time, would it heal?

Answer
Hi Fernando,

so sorry about the long delay in answering your question!

Roborovskis are very hardy and will usually recover very well from most wounds or injuries.

Just keep an eye on the leg and make sure he is starting to use it.

If you dont think it is getting any better then it is a good idea to take him to the vets - just to be on the safe side.

Kind Regards,

Tammy
