OK I NEED HELP PLEASE!!

I have this little guy just born. He is missing an eye, now normally i would put a dragon down with deformaties but this seems to have no effect on the rest of him. But i guess i feel very sorry for the little guy and have no idea what to do or how to handle it. I feel i have 3 options keep him, give him for adoption, or put him down. I have never had one comeout with no eye! How would i care for him? What would you do in this situation? Is thier a rescue for dragons like this? What are the risks with this deformaty? Thies are my questiopns please help me figure it out. Thanks Barb

The problem with giving him away is that if he passes hands a few times in his life, he might end with someone who assumes it was from a bite as a baby and breeds him. I think the best options are culling or keeping him.

I'm assuming he could live if that is the only thing wrong with him. But with no depth perception, catching bugs might prove a bit of a chore. You'd probably have to feed him with tongs or something.

This is a hard decision for some to make.

As a breeder you have to cull any inferior or defective hatchlings.
