I’d say keep an eye on it, and it it shows signs of inflammation or infection, broken bone ( applying no weight to the foot at all), discoloration, etc. then seek a vet. But imo, this doesn’t look all that serious, and probably doesn’t warrant a vet visit. Again, just keep an eye on it.

Great information provide in all the Posts provided above.

Some place in her cage is a sharp area or pinch point that needs to be filed smooth or covered. Seek it out and repair it.

Consider yourself lucky and keep moving-onward.
