After bathing his eyes last night, he slept his log cabin and today his eyes don't seem as puffy, he has wondered around, seeked food and wandering about so I think I will take out the readi hay

Thats good that you now know.. If they still look puffy get some comforting eye drops and squeeze a drop in each eye..Thats what I did with Victor. x

Where do i get that? i think i might do it anyway as they still look a bit funny, and the actual eye ball doesnt look as sharp as i thing it should

In the first picture it is the nictitating membrane (third eyelid) that looks to be having trouble and not going back when the eye is open. The other eye does look like the top lid is a bit swollen, but it may be having the same trouble. It's either going to be an infection in the eye or a humidity problem in the enclosure (to low) that would be causing this.

Thanks Danny, ive taken him out of the top soil as this was posibily irritaiting his eyes. going to get some stuff to bathe them and hopefully that will clear it uo, he has only been out of the topsoil for 48 hours and im positive they are slightly better.

Just cant remember the name of the eye drops i am to order, Stells (Kelly) told me other night and cant find where i wrote it down.

too low humidity means too cold / too wet yes??

Not quite sure what your asking with the humidity. The humidity in the winter is always hard to keep high with tables being heated more as well as houses.
You want to shoot for an air humidity level of between 50 and 70%. Damp and warm conditions are just fine, you'll want to avoid damp and cold conditions.

I'll ask Kelly about the drops.

Quinn is off to the vets on Friday, cant get any pharmacy to sell me the recomended eye ointment, bathing them in warm water hasn't worked so off to the vets we go!
