sunken eyes? not sure....

[SunnyBaby]

Hello-
So I'm wondering if someone can tell me... I haven't seen Sunny drink in the mornings or evenings. I'm wondering if maybe he's doing this behind my back just to freak me out or something. His eyes don't look shrunken to me but I can be wrong. Can someone please agree or disagree with me? Just need an opinion.

they look ok from what I can see in that pic. Sometimes they are closet drinkers!! If his urate is white and his eyes look alright then he must be drinking when you are not looking. Do you run a dripper?

I would say they are not, and if they are, barely. Judging by other peoples pictures on the forum it looks nothing like it. But they also had some pretty bad cases from what I saw.

Well its good to know I'm just crazy! I use the good ol' cup with a hole system and I mist 3x a day for 4min and pay close attention to his favorit drinking spots. But he refuses to let me see! Well as his pee goes its white the last time I found some but that was a few days ago... thank you guys!

Yeah my Veiled does not let me see her lol But she has healthy poops and urates so I just tend not to question and keep up what I'm doing

You may want to continue monitoring the eyes and the urates closely. Sometimes our gut instincts are telling us something important (even if we're not sure what it is). He looks good but if you aren't seeing urates and you think he may not be drinking then I would monitor this closely just to be sure. Moisture is so important for Jacksons and this can be a tough time of year for them with the heat and all.
