as it is currently, he's not really getting his good leg
under him, so he tends to lean on the bad side. he did manage
to move himself around in the crate after we got back from the
vet, so he was facing away from the food & water. when i
turned him back around (i was showing the kid how his leg was
splinted) he attacked the food. silly roo!

Just talked to my niece who is a vet nurse and she says 'small cage,
no roost or anything higher than ground level for at least a month'.
The idea is eat, rest and sleep, no exercise period.

Can you try him something more like slats in the floor of his 'room'?
Something which would enable him to get a grip of which might give him the
ability to get his leg better positioned underneath him.
It would have to be trial and error, and careful watching but it might help.
