Hey Guys I have a slight small issue I might have resolved it but I will take in advice just in case. I noticed that my new gu was closing its eye and and I was like the hell? so I looked and found A little bit of substrate coco fiber in his upper lid. I got it out very carefully and cautiously but he closed the eye again after. should I monitor him and see if it gets better? and maybe change the substrate?

It can happen with any substrate. With eco earth keep it moist and it's less of an issue, once it dries out it will absorb moisture from anything moist it comes into contact with. Just flush the eye with normal eye drops (saline) or give him a bath with enough water for him to swim or submerge and it'll fix itself.
