Hello first time posting, also first time owning a T. Yesterday mine had quite a fall, im not sure how she landed exactly as I only saw it from the corner of my eye, however he landed on a branch and caught himself, righted himself then climbed down, he’s moving around a little today and has eaten.
I am just wanting opinion on some images as I have no idea what exactly I’m looking for is this a ruptured abdomen? Or has he just kicked some hair?

We won't start asking why or how it fell, but is the abdomen wet or leaking?

This May sound silly but what’s the best way to tell? He’s skittish and will bolt if I touch his abdomen. I used a cotton bud yesterday and it didn’t appear wet, but I’m unsure how obvious the signs would be?

It would be and look wet. Time will tell.
