chewing nails

[lindsecm]

Picked up Pola today and caught a glimpse of her back foot and two of the 3 nails were broken or looked like they'd been chewed off by her or Nell. :{

They don't go outdoors, only in their indoor run and their cage. Pola's nails don't grow, had her since April and her nails have not gotten longer at all.

Normal or should I look into this more?

has she got them caught in anything

Nothing to get them caught in....just wooden huts, fleece, and a litter pan. :{

have you checked with vets?

DIY clipping neat lol saves you a job! Just look for any discolouration or yellowing of the nail, as she could have a fungal infection! p

Her nails are dark. I'll get a better look at 'them today, and maybe get a pic if she'll let me.
