Shedding Help needed..

InsideOutsider13 May 31, 2004 07:02 AM

There is just this one, very annoying thing that truely ticks me off and it is the way my female sheds. She doesn't have the whole concept down on getting skin off of her feet, as where my male does and he has it down to a science. Now, I have tried soaking in a formula, soaking in water, rubbing with Q-tips, and even tweezers. What else can I do? I don't want her to lose all her digits but as it stands now, the skin just won't come off. If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Have used aloe hand lotion before and never had a problem with ingestion or such. Of course you're using a moist hide already.
