I found today a sort of a bubble on one of Mimmi's front paw's toes while clipping her nails. It's maybe 3mm of diameter ad seems filled with liquid. Its quite hard though and doesn't move a lot when I feel it. I cant get a proper pic because it's small and her toes are hairy :). It looks a bit like a blister but doesn't seem to hurt or be inflammated. The skin is pale like normally.
She had the same thing on the same toe a couple of months ago and the bubble disappeared the next day so I'm not taking her to vet's just yet but I it puzzles me. Mimmi always has something strange going on and she is my baby so I worry...
Does anyone know what it could be?

I would recommend to keep it under observation and see a vet if it is still there in a couple of days or as soon as it is getting worse. Have you got something in your cage/hay that could cause small punctures/blistering on the feet?

It is always possible of course though I can't think of anything that would cause a thing like that.. I keep the cage very clean and this is on top of the toe so a strange place to have a puncture.. Strangest about it is that the same happened once before. Maybe it could be possible that the toes somehow rub together sonetimes causing a blister?
I will keep an eye on it. Thank you @Wiebke :).

To be honest, it is difficult to do more than guess without seeing it. I would certainly recommend to speak to your vet if you have more or if the existing one gets worse.

How are the girls?
