Oh no

Good luck, I hope everything goes ok!

Good luck! Is there any thing sharp in the cage for Twinkle to hurt herself on? Or maybe she's been scratching? Poor thing

Oh no, poor Twinkle

. I hope the vet visit goes really well. You must be so worried about how she did it, if you can't work it out perhaps upload a little vid of her cage and everything in to to see if anyone can shed any light on it. Fingers crossed she's ok xx

Fingers crossed shes ok xx

hello

thanks for posting...vet said she will be ok

so thats good news! just got to be careful about toys dont want her knocking her scab off or hurting herself again

...vet said it looks like shes put her head through the bars or under something then got stuck and pulled back...shes in a mini duna though but has quite a few wooden toys, i suspect she might have hurt it burrowing under her burrow box :s x

Great news! Just give her lots of cuddles and kisses and she'll be better in no time

Poor Twinkle! I'm happy she should be okay. I'd probably take all toys out for now, except her wheel if it's a safe kind.

yes she just has her silent spinner and all tissue no sawdust! she has had lots of fuss! think she might like some peace now haha! x
