    When I got Tiramisu, I noticed her eyes where a bit dented and crinkled looking. I assumed it was from low humidity and would go away. My mom is of the opinion that she has retained eye caps. any opinions? If they look like retained caps should I take her to a vet or just wait until her next shed to see how she does? The humidity in her tub is sitting at around 77%, I gave her a big bowl of water to try and get her hydrated.

    Additionally, I offered her a rat wean last night since it was feeding day anyway and she snapped it up, so she's not hesitating to eat.

    What i do is just spill a bit of water in the hide above the hot spot. That does the trick for me.

    Those do look like retained eye caps. Use a wet cotton swap and try to remove the retained eye caps.

    Def looks like retained eye caps, I don't like messing with their eyes. I'd suggest throwing in some balled up damp paper towels and let her work them off herself.
