Anything I can do to help this baby? It was malpositioned in the egg and I had to help it hatch. It’s fifth toe on the right foot lays parallel to his leg rather than sticking out away from its leg. Also the 4th and 5th aren’t webbed like his other foot. He kind of limps but seems to get around fine otherwise. He does make a little bit of noise if I try to move it to its correct position. Thoughts?

The toe won't interfere, it's just the way it formed.
