Just wondered if anyone else has encountered this before? Its almost like the skin around the eye has been pulled outwards whilst shedding. He has shed since I got him but doesn't appear to have corrected.

| slight dehydration by the looks of the pits in his eyes, bathe him/her in some luke warm water half way up his side for about 15 mins to get him back to normal. |

Not yet, He's still very young (about 150grams) and started a good feeding regime. Don't wanna stress him too much with baths ect so I'll leave him for a while and see how it goes

No, I wouldn't feed chicks, I've heard to much bad stuff about them! He's on rat fluffs at the moment.

I've cropped the image to get a close up of the eye, I guess those feet do resemble those of a chick
