By that, do you mean that he curls his toes upwards and back?

If so, then I would say it's normal - they just curl their toes up when they don't need to cling on to a surface!

Can you take a photo of the leg and post it on here? It will be easier to say if anything is wrong.

perhaps he's had a fall of some sort and landed on that leg and twisted it much like when you twist your ankle!

i dont think letting him jump all over the place will help any.

I think he may just be shedding. With my cresty, I became really worried when he atrarted walking funny, it was just him trying to rip the tight skin.


Spray him extra well, and see what happens!
