Default Re: Conjunctivitis?!

Gummy eyes are usually a sign of the hamster feeling unwell or just sleeping more. But you might also want to check the teeth because tooth issues can also cause eye problems like abscesses. If she`s been bar chewing, this could be the cause.

In the meantime, you can gently wipe over her eyes with a wetted cotton pad/ball and warm water. This will help any crusty stuff to be cleaned away.
