Possible Retained Eye Caps

[d_virginiana]

I usually end up doing a bath for completely retained sheds and a wet Q-tip for eyecaps. I usually end up doing this within a day of the shed though, so tape may be needed if it's been on there awhile.

Just to let you all know:

I found a video on youtube of a guy who took a water bottle and sprayed the head/eye a few times and then got the cap off. I did a similar thing, and it worked perfect. Eye cap came right off except she slung poop all over me. Next time it happens (if it does) I'll make sure she poops before I do it.

I spotted a retained eye cap on one of my female radixes. The tape took it off on the first try.
