Exclamation Eye bulging for a moment

so I was playing with my 3 month old Syrian, holding him and letting him crawl around my arm, when i noticed his right eye looked really big compared to normal so i quickly put him in his cage and distracted him with a treat so he'd stay still and his eye looked completely fine. Is this normal or should I be worrie

It could just be they way you held him that pulled the skin back making the eye look bulgy. Just check his water bottle is working well as sometimes this cann happen if they get dehydrated. There is a lot of loose skin around the eyes with the pouches being there which is quite mobile.

Thanks, I checked his water and it's working fine, he's been seeming perfectly fine after that and doesn't seem injured in any way. I'll make sure to keep a close eye on him in case it happens again. Thanks again
