my gerbils often sit there with one eye open, they sometimes look like they are
winking at me.

I've seen this, or think I have; sometkmes they need to scratch their eyes
open after sleep, although rarely. I can't say it ever seemed to be
associated with problems that I could tell.

Subject: gerbils eye stuck shut
Hi everyone!
I noticed a wierd thing tonight with Clifford. I went in to check on
everyone and when I walked past Clifford he just sat there with his one eye
shut. I thought uh oh he's sick and opened the lid and scooped him out.
While I held him his eye slowly opened. His eye looks fine now and he's not
clicking or anything, as soon as I put him in he went to his wheel and
started running it. Could he be getting sick? There is no discharge from his
eye that I could see (yet). I cleaned the acquarium out today and put fresh
corncob and aspen back in. Should I start antibiotic just in case or wait
until he does seem sick? Ideas?
Thank you >Cindi
