his cage has a towel with a sheet on top, and part of the day he is on the bed covered with a sheet so i can keep a close eye, i am spraying his feet with vetrycin as he began fighting me on the neosporin- this will be the 4th nail, this one seems to be bothering him more- i really thought he was a she too- but watching him recover i think he was anemic and under fed so didn't develop right
This toe is probably more deeply damaged, maybe even into the toe bone not just the nail and tip. Or maybe he is feeling better enough to actually be bothered where on the first ones he was just to weak to care. Either way it is just something you will have to let time take care of. Any premature removal will just increase likelihood of infection or further injury.
