My clutch hatched in april of this year and so far two of the three that I held back have shed and are eating. But...I have a little girl that still hasnt shed yet, let alone not even blued! What is going on with this? I really wish she would shed so I can feed her. I really dont want to lose her. Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your help.

I've had the odd clutch were the offspring don't want to shed on time or don't have a first shed at all. I even had a clutch of burms years ago that shed in the egg.

Anyways, if your clutch was produced in April that means that at the very minimum they've been atleast 4 weeks without food. Start feeding them. If the little girl doesn't eat I'd assist feed her. In my experience once they get 5-6 weeks without food they start to go down hill very quickly. I assist feed them after 3-4 weeks without eating.

Regards,
Corey
