I was cleaning the boys' cages and letting them run around the room as usual tonight. I stepped out of the room for something, and when I stepped back in, Roger ran out. I scooped him up, and stepped back in the room, and shut the door behind me and I closed the tip of his tail in the door.
It's not bleeding, just very red, and the top layer of tail skin was hanging off. He immediately started grooming it, and pulled off the loose skin. He's eating with the other boys right now, and is acting normal.
I, on the other hand, am a mess. I'm not freaking out about the injury itself... just that I caused it. I closed my baby's tail in the door. My stomach feels exactly how it felt when my nephew was a baby and I accidentally pinched his leg between the kitchen table and chair while I was holding him and made him cry.
