If he has ripped a nail out I`m not sure it will grow back, but the main thing is to watch for his toe swelling or seeming sore. You could bathe it with saline (one pint of boiled water, add a teaspoon of salt and allow to melt. Wait until the water is baby temperature). make sure the Bin is totally escape proof or switch to a more secure cage?

Keep an eye on his behaviour and paw, making sure he can hold food okay and walk without limping. x
