This may be an of ???? But my fahaka fuffer does this thing where she like sucks her eyeballs into her head so you can't see them anymore. My ??? Is just whether that is normal behavior or not lol.

My fahaka scared me first time it did this. Perfectly normal
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

It happens. I have always considered it comparable to frogs doing the same thing. It may be related to swallowing food, or cleaning/clearing the surface of the eyes - i.e., it is normal behavior.

I don't know know if I would use the word "normal" to describe it lol but it does my heart good to know it isn't something she shouldn't be doing. Thank you for your promtcand kind responses.
