hello i’m new to the rat community, i got three boys about 5 days ago. i went in for some bonding time today and i think one of their eyes look a bit bothered. it could just me overthinking and maybe he’s just woken up so they’re still sleepy but id just like some confirmation 😅

Yes, his eye does seem a bit swollen to me, kudos to you for paying such close attention. If the swelling doesn't go away on its own or becomes more pronounced in the next couple of days I'd bring him to the vet. Please keep us informed!

thank you! will do
