I'm probably just being a worrysome mom, but I had Mr. Nibbles out in his playpen and he was winding down clearly ready for a nap, so I picked him up (hes still not quite used to being handled but its much easier than it used to be to pick him up) and held him for a moment as I always do before I put him in his cage. This particular instance he was really squirmy so I went to put him down in his cage, but he squirmed out of my arms and when I went to pick him up ( i hold very gently so he doesn't get hurt) he just jumped out of my hands! instead of jumping into the cage he missed and hit the door >_< this happened twice, he is eating, moving around, acting normal, currently laying down for his nap which is usual after he spends an hour running around and popcorning..

He didn't make any sounds as if in pain, and he came right up to me for a cuddle once I put him in his cage and purred for me

I'm just concerned, do you think hes ok? he didn't hit his head super hard but he is small so I'm not sure how hard is hard D:
And the fact that he hit it twice ... I feel awful, like I should have held him tighter but I don't want to hurt him by holding too tight either :(
