We would need to see a picture, if it's really bad (barely clinging to life) than euthanasia would be the way to go, but if it's like a broken bone, you could set it and let it heal

Well I caught him and took a close look at the injured leg. It was mangled just below his knee so after a lot of reading I chose to amputate the leg just above the injury. I made sure it was healthy tissue that was still attached to the bone. I now have him in a small critter cage that I keep on hand. I put in plenty of leaves to make him hopefully feel like he is hidden and safe. Guess I'll keep him in house till the leg heals and he proves he can escape predators and catch food on his own. Rather than catching bugs to feed him couldn't I go to pet store and purchase small crickets for him to eat or do I need to catch him local bugs? And I'm sure I will need to keep his cage high in humidity by spraying spring water on the leaves.
I tried to post a picture but can't get it to post from iPad.
Well he is still alive. Been taking him outside in his critter cage. I placed a banana skin in his cage to attract fruit flies. So far I can't say he has eaten anything. I am going out tomorrow to pet store to get him something to eat. So far I'm not sure what to feed him other than fruit flies. Any help would be appreciated.
