My baby tortoise seems to have bubbly watery eye and he seems to cat fully open his eyes, it worries me a lot. He likes to graze when I put him on grass. But he seems to like never comes out of the cave and just sleeps. I've never seen him come out. The substrate I use is forest bark by exo terra.

What type of UV bulb are you using? The coil type cfl bulbs can burn their eyes. We will need more info on how you are housing, heating and lighting your tortoise.
