    Scratched eye?

    After I fed my big 14 year old female bp I noticed her eye was bleeding. Ben feeding her med. Rats and that last one put up a fight. Any how it looked like she was crying blood. She finished eating so I didn't think it was as bad as it looked. The next day I checked her out and the hurt eye looked smaller than the other? It was strange... I held her up to the light and it seemed that she was trackin me I mean I saw eye movment and now she is in a full shed. I did doctor her up a bit but I'm afraid it will happen again. She refuses to eat f/t. Any suggestions? Should I worry about the eye? It's been 4 days and she acts normal. What would you do??
    Always,

    ID wait till after the shed and see if it needed vet attention, unless its obvious that it needs it now.

    Id also start feeding prekilled at least

    Always hated feeding live

    They shed to help themselves heal. Just keep an eye on her. In the future you could try stunning or even pre killing prior to putting it in with her.
