i have looked in his mouth several times and applied some saline solution and a weak iodine solution to his "gums" to try to reduce some of the swelling/ prevent infection because his upper and lower jaw were not seated together at a point (lasted about a day) due to the rubbing. His head is swollen mostly on top of his nose and his eyes look shrunken due to the swelling of the tissues around them. i will definitely try the newspaper thing and provide another hide. should i keep him away from the breeding females?
