Toenails Discolored
Both of Irwin's front "pinky toes" have discolored nails and they seem...stiff. They still have feeling. It was just one at first, but now it's both. I thought it might be a break at first, but I have no clue how that would have happened or why it would be the exact same toe on each foot, although I guess it's possible. I'm not doing a good job just guessing. Here's some pictures, please tell me if you have an idea and if there's anything I can do about it. I know it's hard to see, but if you look closesly the nail seems darker from the inside and his toe seems very straight.

Re: Toenails Discolored
I checked for shed, and I didn't find any. I always check that when he sheds. The substrate is aspen, and average humidity is 30%.
