Soaking usually works for the eyecaps. Or if water doesn't work , I've heard people have luck using baby oil on Q-tips. If this doesn't work, don't worry too much and they'll probably come off with the next shed. In the case that they don't, see a vet and he'll take care of it for you. Good to hear you were ready before getting it. Don't get too stressed out in all the excitement, he'll do fine. Good luck.
