Thanks for reaching out about Gerald and including photos. Squinty eyes can be due to infections or inflammation of the eyes, or even congenital problems. A veterinary visit can assist with the first two. Maintain good nutrition and husbandry. Discontinue any dust baths, if offered. Any chance of an aerosol spray into the eyes. Good luck.
