Help with bleeding baby leo

asterisk Nov 04, 2007 12:18 PM

We have 3 babies, and 2 of them are kept in a terrarium and the other one is separate. The two have apparently been fighitng, and the littler one got bullied around by the bigger one. The little one, we think, got bitten on the nose a few time and now it's bleeding pretty bad. We put some cornstarch on it, but I'm worried that it may block up her nostrils? Apparently my friend heard somewhere that leos breathe through their ear holes?

We've separated the two geckos and put the bigger one in the terrarium with the other baby.

Can someone further help please?

Nope,
She's fine now, the wound has scabbed over.
Except it looks like she's missing a part of her nose.

Poor little thing.
