| hi all over the past few days Fred has been on the look out for an escape route trying to squeeze through the gap between the doors I was looking at him this morning and noticed he has a small graze on his nose (barely visible really) but was wondering if it would need attention and how to stop him hurting himself in the future, thanks in advance. |

if it's not bleeding then i'd leave it alone, if it got worse you could get some Tamodine/Vetadine to dab on it though
try putting some cardboard in the gap between the doors to make it less appealing for him  |

if you plug the gap hopefully he'll realise it isn't a way out and so stop trying  |

| Hi I had the same problem with Rhubarb so I bought some paper binders and have loads spare if you want some drop me an email and I will post some out to you, they are clear so not unsightly and certainly solves the problem. |

I'll second the paper binders suggestion. You can hardly see them but they seal the gap well and are rounded so he wouldn't be able to hurt his nose on them.
Believe me when ozziesmum says she has loads spare she means it too!  |
