    Help, baby veiled won’t open his eyeball!

    I was concerned about it being a vitamin A deficiency, but the vitamin supplement I have includes beta carotene and I gut load the crickets with carrots as well, so I feel like that shouldn't be the case. I recently purchased a T8 ReptiSun 5.0 linear bulb to replace the compact one I'm using...

    Vitamin A deficiency?

    Thank you. The calcium I use does not have d3, but the guy load I've been using does. That may be the problem, so I will look into switching. The carrots are pureed so I didn't even think about the possibility of impaction, but I will for sure stop if that's the case. I am using a compact bulb...

    Vitamin A deficiency?

    My baby veiled, Comma, has been keeping his eyes closed for about a week now. It started out as just one for a few weeks, and has now progressed to both. I read somewhere that they tend to do this when they aren’t getting enough vitamin A. Since he won’t open his eyes, he’s unable to eat or...

    Help, baby veiled won’t open his eyeball!

    No progress. I've been showering him every night which he doesn't enjoy, I've increased the number of times I mist, I've continued the saline rinse and ointment process, and he has began his antibiotics. He just won't open the eye very often. He's still energetic and eating though, and he's been...

    Okay, thanks! I'll lower the branch below his heater.

    Thanks! I tried taking him in the shower, but he didn't actually drink while he was in there. Hopefully the humidity at least helped :)

    Help, baby veiled won’t open his eyeball!

    This is Comma. My boyfriend and I bought him from a Petco about 3 weeks ago, and we think he is about 2 and a half months old. When we purchased him, they said he was a girl, but after some research, we decided he was actually a boy because of the bumps on his hind feet. For the past week he has...
