See what I mean!! Thanks Billy. I knew the shed wansnt progressing like it should, but my efforts at soaking and helping her shed just havnt yeilded much success. That pic was taken just yesterday, she still looks the same to me. Being wild caught, she doent really enjoy me messing with her too much, but I will do what is necessary to ensure her upkeep. The wet pillowcase is something I havent heard of. Do I just lay it in the bottom of her cage? Do I put her in it and tie the top? I really dont want to kill her with my lack of knowledge. I tried to peel it by hand buts she just wont stay still and she is a little nippy. It doesnt hurt, but does it hurt her little teeth when she bites?
I guess I need to work on the humidity in the cage. I think I have the temp right. 71f on the warm side 65 on the cool. The only way I have been able to do that is by putting the cage in the drafty part of the room (next to the air handler) and keeping the heating pad under the cage on medium. Maybe the air movement is drying things out too much. She does have a drinking bowl and a soaking bowl, but I nerver see her do anything but glide through or over either.
Thanks for the heads up on the shed though, I knew it wans't right, but thought maybe she needed more time. I need to feed her on Thurs. My wife and I are going to Pigeon Forge Fri-Mon.
