as it is currently, he's not really getting his good leg

water. when i turned him back around (i was showing the
kid how his leg was splinted) he attacked the food. silly

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.

slats might be a good plan. that would keep him from sitting
in droppings as well (well, more than being on shredded paper
anyway).
he seems much more comfortable with the splint.
