    slight dent in my female normal's eye

    I had my female normal out for a bit yesterday and I noticed a slight dent in her left eye. She is in a tub in a rack system and humidity is at a constant 60% except for when she is in shed, I then boost her humidity. What causes this kind of issue?

    Dehydration is possible as is her knocking her eye on something in the tub. try soaking her in warm water (water temp mid 80's) for about 30 minutes. if it is dehydration that should fix it.

    Has she been eating regularly?

    Yes, she eats a f/t small rat once a week. Thanks for the advice and the quick response Aaron. You are always so helpful.

    This has happened to me before, and scarred me. But some one on here suggested the warm tub of water and i did that for a week straight and everything is fine right after i did that. his eye is back into shape. The tub trick should work

    That has happened to mine too. The first time I freaked and soaked him and it went away immediately. Last week when I took him out he had a small dent and then after he moved around a bit it went away. I think if it persists it might be an issue but as with everything I'd just keep an eye on it
