HELP beardies eyes stuck

[selina2106]

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me, i've recently had my first clutch of bearded dragons hatch and was keeping then on a substrate of sand. After about 2 weeks I noticed what I assumed was sand in some of their eyes so I cleaned them out with saline solution wich seemed to work for most of them. I still have 3 though wich seem to have gotten worse, its as though the sand has crusted and glued their eyes shut and therfor they can't eat cos they can't see their food. Any advice would be apreciated.

Get rid of the sand. You have problems like you say as well as impaction.

colliodal silver from the health food shop is an excellent bacteria cleaner and lubricator. soak some on some cottow wool and put on their eyes.

ur welcome..you might have to soak them quite a bit to unstick their eyes, its excellent for them to drink to keep the immune system up. it comes in bottle or spray, up to you, could try spraying it on the eyes, but would recommend soaking them with the cotton wool. put 1 cap full of silver to 1/2ltr water for drinking.
