Wow, thanks! That really clears things up! Thanks for all the tips, seems like I'm on the right track so far with all this info, I can't wait until he gets used to being handled. I was hesitant at first because I think rough handling was what made him lose his body parts, but I'm hopeful that he'll get used to it eventually. Even as he is golds aren't as bad as most people say.

I attached a picture (sorry its sideways) just from my phone, showing the broken tail & somewhat of the fingers. He's pretty resilient though with it all. Any ideas what could have caused it? I've heard malnutrition, bad sheds, or bad handling.
