Cage Info:
Current Problem - Oscar’s tends to close his left eye frequently. His left eye sinks in a little bit when he closes it, and the right one is fine. When he is using his left eye it looks normal and it is a full turret like the right eye. He only closes it for 10-20 seconds every hour or so. I have seen him clean BOTH of his eyes many times and when he closes his left eye, he is not cleaning it, it looks like he is sleeping, but it is only his left eye. He is still moving around and climbing when he closes it. If I wave my hand in front of him or show him a feeder he opens his eye up right away. He has never slept during the day.
