Ive had a few stuck sheds in 25 years but this one takes the cake.My 9 month old Kankakee bull refuses to shed the top half of his body.Maybe I missed a bad shed but he sheds around the same as my female like clockwork.There both kept at the same temps and humidity and have many things to snag a shed on.
Now to the point.Raised the humidity to near for one week.Didnt work.Put him overnight in a damp pillowcase.Didnt work.Let him soak in tepid water for 30 minute intervals twice.
His skin seems to be glued on because I can barely pick any of it off.This guy is very sensitive and has no problem breaking his teeth in whatever he can hit.The stress Ive put this poor guy through has put him off feed but he still drinks alot of water.
Im currently looking for other options.Thank you in advance for the replies.
