So i was feeding my beardie a hornworm this morning. This hornworm was pretty big and my beardie went for it. As soon as he chomped on it..the hornworm swung around and i THINK bit him in the eye. He ate him whole but then started freaking out and rubbing his eye on things. I don't know if it was bitten or he got worm juice on it, cuz he had all the brown liquid from the hornworm on it. I went to rinse his eye out a little and he seemed to be able to open his eye again, but he keeps closing it every couple of seconds. Any suggestions? i really don't want to go to the vet for this..but if i have to then so be it. Hes opening it just fine as i speak, but that little freak out he had kind of deterred me from hornworms alltogether..

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
