I noticed recently that Rocky, my red/yellow nigerian is showing signs of having sight issues. Where he used to run up to a mealworm and snatch him up right away, he now seems to have trouble seeing it, focusing and actually grabbing him. He misses more time than not. He's not showing any more weight loss than normal for a winter season. His eating is down, but again, not anything worse than is normal for winter. I've had him for 8 years now, so I'm thinking that maybe it's age.

Any thoughts?

(temps, diet, etc are all in line)
