I have some questions this morning. I notice kiwi on the left side his eye is not opening all the way and it looks different from his right eye which looks healthy. What is this ? Do I need to see a vet ?

Ordered some vitamins on Amazon should be here today and a temp readerCould be the improper supplementation since you do not have a multivitamin, Could be something is in the eye and the misting sessions being 70 and 30 seconds are not long enough for baby to clear it, Double check UVB distance as well depending on bulb strength and or distance to basking this can create health issues.
Did you order the ones that @MissSkittles gave you info for?Ordered some vitamins on Amazon should be here today and a temp reader
did clear coat to the wood to be water proof and yes I ordered the reptivite for the multivitamins and the uvb bulb reptisun 5.0 and is 24w about 7 inches away from branches, screen mesh on topDid you order the ones that @MissSkittles gave you info for?
What UVB bulb strength are you using for your T5 fixture? What is the distance from the screen top to the branches below? What material is your screen top (take a pic of it)? Different screen reduces the UVB output of a bulb so this becomes an important factor when it comes to DIY cages.
Lastly what type of wood did you use to build the enclosure and did you seal the wood?
Is it the aluminum window screen that you used? With the UVB your using and a single bulb fixture you need 8-9 measured inches to the closest branches below the uvb. Closer puts them in a higher uvb exposure level. So it is important that the measurements are correct.did clear coat to the wood to be water proof and yes I ordered the reptivite for the multivitamins and the uvb bulb reptisun 5.0 and is 24w about 7 inches away from branches, screen mesh on top
No, it’s not aluminum. It’s the one that is used on windows to keep bugs out. Planning on re-doing his terrarium a bit today.Is it the aluminum window screen that you used?

Make sure you got the reptivite with D3 version there are two types.
You can try to increase your misting time length. What your set at now really does not give the baby enough time to trigger a drinking response or time to clean and clear the eye if something is in it. I would bump up your morning misting to 2-3 minutes and see if that helps. If you do a late afternoon misting you could increase that as well.
So is it the fiberglass material? If so you will want to switch this to the aluminum screen. The fiberglass window screen reduces the UVI level far too much.No, it’s not aluminum. It’s the one that is used on windows to keep bugs out. Planning on re-doing his terrarium a bit today.
Time for a vet to see if the eye needs to be flushed. If you tell us what city and state you live in we may be able to recommend a vet to you.Update on kiwi’s eyenow closed for a few days what should I do ?
Chico CATime for a vet to see if the eye needs to be flushed. If you tell us what city and state you live in we may be able to recommend a vet to you.
