Picked up more silkies today 😆 (side note: if you're local to me, TSC still has at least 6 more silkies. I'm guessing on the low end, probably more)

This one has 11 toes. But also, on the foot with 5 toes, that one curls under. S/he walks fine for now, but I know it isn't good to stay that way. Any suggestions on how to fix the toe curling? I'm not sure the cardboard duck foot trick would work, since this toe isn't supposed to be flat.

I don't know exactly whether this would cause more harm or good, but what about tying (with threads) the foot to a piece of cardboard to straighten it out? Wait, is this the cardboard duck trick?
 
Where is its eleventh toe?

6 toes on the left foot. 2 of them as close together, and just barely split. There are 2 separate nails. And then another little one in between, where I drew an arrow at. It also has a nail. And then of course the regular 3. The other foot has the normal 5 toes.

The cardboard duck trick is taping a piece of cardboard to the bottom of the foot. Because it is bigger than the foot, it's like having a little duck foot and no toes lol
