These are very resilient animals. I had a baby get a scratch in it's mouth for a rat toenail. Poor things head swole up huge, I was able to express most of the abscess through the wound site and treat with Baytril, made a full recovery and never missed a beat. I've seen even worse wound's than that and had them live surprisingly so.. Just remember to bump the temps up a little and keep the tubs super clean and super clean water at all times..
