which pet shop is it that you work at? i may be able to pop in and 'take a look' but by the sounds of it it is splayed legs yes, would a photo be possible?
well he was born with it, quite an old guy now (his name is wonky) he was also attacked by a cat last year which didnt help (he was down the owners house and they had a new rescue cat and she got to the cage.

its at killay pet shop in swansea, will try get a picture of him tomorrow when im in work.

he has no problems with getting around and is a bit of a ladies man lol but was just curious as to wether it was splayed legs as it sounded like it.
