I have had Fiver for 4 and half years for the passed few weeks his hocks have been sore. I've not changed anything in his room and I've clipped his nails but the problem is persisting. They aren't bleeding but they are very red and he reacts if you touch them. Now Xena is getting them too and I feel so bad because it's obviously something in their environment that's causing it.
The bedroom is done out in laminate flooring but I have a rug which covers the majority of the floor, I've also put down some fleece and lots of pillows for them to sit on. I've banned them out of the cage because I thought maybe the ramps covered in carpet were causing it but there has been no change and if anything they are getting worse. I'm going to get some sudocreme and put that on their feet but I would rather know what could be the underlying cause so I can prevent it in future.
Thankyou!
