I used some new (compressed) hay in the nest boxes this last time, and it was really dusty and had a lot of small, pointy particles...I think some debris got in one little New Zealand kit's eye because it stayed closed after the other had opened and when I soaked it open with saline, it had some goop in it. I've been washing it out with saline and putting Vetericyn in it. It seems to be improving - instead of being stuck shut, he was opening it today.
No more compressed hay in the nest boxes.
I used regular baled hay prior to this, and it was long, relatively soft strands. I'm going back to that.
