That's looking suspiciously like broad mite damage...  Get a loupe.
 
If it is hopefully I can take care of this peacefully but if not this is WAR!  I don't care if my neighbors cat has eight legged kittens before this Is over.  Will have a micro scope tomorrow and we will see.

If they turn out to be mites, rather than risking growing a third (albeit, useless) testicle - maybe just pick up a bag of sulphur dust?  With plants that small, it should be a breeze to dust the leaves. (not the soil!)
