My four year old marginated tortoise randomly bulges her eyes and is otherwise healthy.
Her eyes look normal when she doesn't do it, the whites of her eyes are white, and her eyes are just normal black.
But when she's eating and takes a break, or just anytime really, sometimes she puts her head in her shell, her eyes bulge out and the whites of her eyes sometimes turn red. She continuously rubs her eyes against her front legs and this lasts a little while.
And then her eyes just "sink" in and look normal again. This has been going on for over a year I think, but I thought it was something that would pass.
