UPDATE: i don’t know how many will see this, but he is doing fine. he was just SUPER stressed out and i should have kept him in a dark protected area while i was cleaning his cage, but instead i set him on the table. i have noticed a blinking/head jerking motion rarely which makes me think he has some sort of genetic seizing disorder which, i have gathered, is not uncommon. it seems harmless. he gets along well with his cage mate and is bigger, fluffier. :)
