First off amusingly my phones autocorrect changed kink to mink which I found amusing!

Anyway, I had Jerry out for a handle today and noticed a slight kink right toward the top of his tail say about 1" from the tip. He seems to be able to bend his tail any way he chooses arty any point beyond the kink just not at the actual kink itself.

I'll try and get a photo later but it may be quite hard to make out.

I assume this is nothing to worry about? It doesn't affect his ability to hold on such his tail etc but just wondering if it'll cause any issues when he is bigger and his tail fatter.

It shouldn't pose a problem. Likely a previous fracture, Danny.

Thanks Andy. I'd imagine their talks in particular ate very fragile when very young?

I'll keep half an eye on it to be sure.

I want to say something about the kink to mink autocorrect so bad...but it would be highly inappropriate for the forum XD
