I will check when I get home. As far as I can remeber both of my rams eyes are not completely flat with the head and are slightly raised (they are both perfectly healthy as well). Will check when I get home.

Hope so, as if they dont have enough problems as it is! The male gets horribly bullied and both seem to be suffering external paracite infestation (still awaiting advice on meds).

I had a problem where one of my rams eyes got bigger and bigger, was unable to stop it and he eventually died. It started small then got bigger and bigger. It was only one of the eyes and did'nt seem to spread.

Yeah the eyes on both my rams are slightly raised and they are pretty healthy (they have laid twice in the last two months out of about the 3 months I have had them).

I tried to get a photo but the rams did not want to co-operate

Edit:
Your lucky. I bribed my rams with some live brine shrimp and they agreed to let me take 1 good photo This kind of shows the eye ridges and raised eyes.
