Try doing the showers for a few days in a row.

Try doing the showers for a few days in a row.

Also, try to determine if there is anything from her environment that is getting in the eye consistently.

okay ill do that a few more times see if it helps more it should. an i think it started when she had dumped her food cup an the crickets swarmed on her an one may have got its leg in her eye. when i do the shower ima do the warm wet q tip trick an see if i can get anything out of her eye. an the pics will be up today.

May I suggest some more foliage at the top and more horizontal walkways?

Some extra foliage could be given by either some fake plants (as long as MJ doesn't try to eat them) or a hanging basket (maybe an umbrella plant or pothos).

Extra walkways, either some branches from outside, sterilised (baked or steeped in boiling water) and cut to size. They can be pinned on through the mesh at the sides or tied on with something strong and durable like fishing wire. Alternatively you could buy some more vines and tie them to the sides in a criss-cross pattern.

Cool I understand how it's awkward to get work done sometimes! I still don't think I'm 100% happy with our setup.

She's a pretty little girl!
