Ginny's Bid For Freedom!

[hayleyface]

This morning when I was cleaning the hutch out I heard a faint *plop* on the ground next to me and Ginny was stood there on all fours, frozen in her tracks. I quickly scooped her back into the hutch with a good telling off. I've inspected her legs as best I could, I've flexed them and rotated them to see if I could feel anything or if she gave any reaction and she seems fine. The jump from the hutch is about 2 or 3 feet - she's eating and running around absolutely fine. Should I take her to the vets, or just keep an eye on her? She landed kind of on pebbles/grass/bin bag full bedding.

Cheers x

Just keep an eye on her and see the vet asap if there are signs of limping or of an inury to the spine (lameness), which can be slower to emerge. She is likely to be perfectly fine, though!

Naughty piggy!

Little escapologist! I hope she is Ok, I'm sure she will be but look out for signs of stiffness or injury.

That happens sometimes. Just keep an eye on her and take her to the vet if there is any limping or stiffness, or if really anything is not normal.
