broken horn
Went to check on Miss Monkey and Red and while loving on Monkey I noticed she broke the tip off her horn. No bleeding. I dont know if Red pushed her into something or something else happened. These horns just pushed through maybe mondayish... Now is this something to worry about? Is she not getting enough minerals? Or are they just "soft" because they are new?

Chipped horns happen. She should be fine.

Being young, they can be softer/more brittle/etc. than an adults full grown horns. Kids will have all sorts of things happen with their horns that don't end up being a problem in an adult. It will be okay.
