albertrita Aug 18, 2004 01:05 PM

You don't need to give him any wet paper towels, just supply something a little rough for him to rub on. That should take care of it. If he's healthy he should peel it right off.

how big is he was his eyes blue before how big is his cage the substrate

ok first are his eyes still blue if they are then wait 3-4 days then he will start shedding at least all mine do his eyes have to turn normal before he sheds and he wont eat if he cant see when his eyes are blue dont wory about starving him they can go mounths without eating so dont worry and but the water bowl near the glass so he and wege through and get the shed off

i noticed that his eyes turned clear yesterday..his eyes turn cloudy for 1 year..and now is cleared..i guess he should be shedding soon..he is really in a bad mood..not willingly to move at all,and still not attracted to the mouse..sigh
