Sore feets!

About a week a go I noticed Thistles hocks were getting sore, I now know what to look for thanks to the threads on here! They were no longer a dark pink but pretty red and he flinched when I touched them. I started putting this tea tree cream I got from the petshop ages ago on them, but they've more so cleared up when we put camping mats under their run so it covered the carpet...I knew people had mentioned foam tiles on here before, but this was the nearest thing we've had handy, after two days of them being there his feet have gone back to being pink. So I just thought I'd share the idea, in case this happens and people have them at home already...they're also pretty cheap so it's good .

These types of things... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelert-Camping-Foam-Mat-1450X500X8mm/dp/B000F2BPS4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1303380685&sr=8-3 They have ripped up the corners of them, althought not eaten it...just seem to enjoying picking bits off and throwing it around. I said I wouldn't be surprised if we woke up and there was just a little circle of it left in the middle of the floor
