Current Problem - one of my baby pygmys seems to never open one of his eyes. I first noticed it the day after he hatched. I thought maybe it was because he was only a day old, but I have seen no change and I'm afraid it is interfering with his hunting. I tried gently washing it with a wet cotton swab but that didn't seem to do anything but annoy him. Also, he spends a lot of time with his eye pressed against the wall or paper towel. Does anyone know why he might be doing this? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
