I noticed yesterday that Elliot walking funny. His front left leg seems to be the problem, but I can't work out in what way. At first I thought maybe it was his nails so I trimmed them, but he still seems cautious about that foot.

He is still eating and drinking and walking around like normal and seems generally happy. He is even still climbing the bars in hope of food so it can't be bothering him THAT much. It just makes him walk kind of wobbly. Should I just give him a few days, or does he need to go to the vet?

Thanks
 
As it is not bothering him too much, I would leave it; it should be OK again in a few days.

Have you checked the underside of the foot, just in case it is not a slight strain? Please remember that the leg starts right up in the shoulder!
