Did the one hatchling always have cloudy eyes? Or is it a recent thing?
I have had two turtles in the past that developed cloudy eyes. Both happened rather quickly. One was a young box turtle of about four months old. One day, one of it's eyes was swollen and cloudy. I thought for sure it would be blind in that eye as it looked awful and stayed like that for a week. Then, within another week, it cleared up on it's own. I have no explaination for it or what even had happened.
The other was a Staurotypus triporcatus that I raised from a hatchling. Whenever I fed it cooked shrimp its eyes would become cloudy within hours. They would clear up after a couple of days and I finally figured the connection between the cooked shrimp and the eye reaction. Again, no explaination.
