thanks for the quick advice becky.

whatever came out of her nose may have been porphyrin and not blood. it was rust colored and there wasn't very much of it so hopefully that's all it was. i've never actually seen it come out of a nose in liquid form before--just assumed it was blood.

the enclosure is just a rubbermaid with the top cut and screen zip tied over it. in the tub is an igloo hide, food dish and an empty box for chewing/hiding. maybe if she hung her nail somehow in the lid she could have done that but i'm not really sure how likely that is. i guess the most likely thing is that she had a scuffle with one of her cage mates which caused everything...hopefully that's what happened anyhow.

thanks again for the help becky. now i have to try to talk my friend who is taking care of the animals while i'm out of town into getting her out and cleaning her up for me until i get back.
