As far as the finger..don't take the chance, take it to the vet. Most bone injuries do not heal on their own. There are things vets can do to repair injuries.and they really need to be seen to determine if it will heal. Animals react differently to injury than we do and out of instinct will use a severely injured appendage because they feel they have to in order to survive. If there is any nerve damage, they will likely end up chewing it off.then you WILL have to deal with it and it could cost a whole lot more. Just because you think it's getting better, doesn't mean it is.get him to the vet. As far as your pregnant female..when you see babies is a sure sign the babies are there. Other than that, can't help you there. Please do get her spayed though, there are far too many unwanted animals on this planet already.
if shes pregnant you are going to have to separate them soon b/c i believe the male will eat them. just like rabbits. as for the hurt foot or toe they wont do anything for that it will heal. you said its getting better every day. congratulations your going to have a big family
You think that it just needs time to heal. But I don't think so. I think you should take it to a vet as there might be some complications with bons or a stretched vein. Secondly, congrats for the pregnancy for your brothers female. She will behave very different when the time will come nearer and also much more unsecure. She might not allow anyone near to her. But don't worry. This behaviour will not stay for long. After giving birth, slowly her behaviour will be normal as usual.
I don't know about pet pregnancy, but I'd say let nature take it's course
just a tip:when the babies are born, dont go near them or touch them because the mother will try to defend them by putting it in its mouth and the babies will suffocate them and they will die.
