Liquorice has become nervous (jumpy and bolts for cover) when out, and hides in the house a lot.. she's still doing every other normal activity, eating, sleeping, pooping, weeing, but she's just not as interesting in interacting with me..
Her eye's are bright, I honestly can't see anything wrong, the only thing I can think of is her sight in the eye that's been an issue isn't as good as it was..
Her little sister BonBon stays with her all the time, as if she's comforting her..
 
I would take her to a vet for a wee check up, gp's are so good at hiding illnesses, it could be nothing but.......
Hope she feels better soon. xoxo
 
Please have her MOTed by a vet! The fact that her companion is so aupportive means that something is not right.
 
She seems normal on your vid, but if your worried then all i can suggest is a vet trip. Ps. You probably already know etc, but your piggies are in need of a nail clipping. :)

I know, I have been making my rounds :) BonBon is a wuss with the nail clippers, takes some persuading to stop squirming long enough for me to do them :))
 
The eye you can see is the one which was punctured a month ago.. I gave her a drop of Tiacil in her eye tonight, and what you see on the video is the results a couple of hours later. I'll get the vets to check her nails when they see her, her health is the priority :)
