Sometimes however you may have to resort to tweezers if the rag/Qtip doesn't get the job done, as I had to do with one of my recent rescues.

Nooooo.
No tweezers. You could damage the eye. If you can't wait until the next shed, then you can soak and soften the old shed and eye cap. Q-tip would be safest, and some peeps on the ball site have used tape, but only scotch.....something that's NOT really sticky. I've used the tape, but only when I know that the shed cycle was "current"/recently done.
Balls tend to be pickier eaters, and imprint feeders. The suggestions for converting him to rats are really good ones....I've used some of them, but I also have a couple balls that refuse to eat rats, but will snarf 2 mice every week.
