also wanted to say that with the little guy being blind it shouldnt cause any problems... i had a double rex rat get glaucoma in both eyes and had to have them surgically removed.

I was surprised to find out that a rats vision is usually so poor that with no eyes they can still function like a normal rat.

Ever notice your rat swaying side to side when it looks at you... that is what they do to get a clear picture of what they are looking at
