Ok i was fixing the cage and the babys finger got stuck in the tube when i was connecting it and its nail started to bleed its fine but if you lok at its nail closely you can see the blood inside the baby on its finger
Will this affect the baby
Its not too bad
it happended around 8:30pm and it limps but im just concerned
Please relie

Answer
Hi Natalie,

    The baby should recover just fine. If the foot becomes red, inflamed, pus is present, or badly swollen, it should be seen by a vet, for these are signs of infection.
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thanks again for writing!
