Question
I was just wondering if my gerbil will heal from its back leg injury and what i should do.

Answer
Hello, your gerbil should heal just fine from it's leg injury, if you don't take him to a vet to get a splinter it may take a little while with healing but he should be fine. Take out his wheel and just provide soft bedding and try to keep him from being so active to allow it to heal properly. :-)
