It does indeed look like Thumbelina's eyes are gummed shut, there's all
kinds
of red goo around them, however, it's quite painful for me to get in
there
with a warm damp cloth and clean them, cuz she's sunk her teeth right
into my
fingers on numerous occasions. Is there any other way for me to get in
there
to clean her eyes to where she won't be able to have a nice snack out of
my
finger? Any help is appreciated. thanks
Recruit a helper. You hold the gerbil and wear leather gloves, or
the assistant wears leather gloves and holds. The other one
does the cleaning.
I usually use a helper for tooth trimming (if he ever wants my
help on his projects, he can hold a small animal for me) and
he wears leather work gloves so he can't get sampled.
