I think Rango has some stuck shed inside his nostril! How do I get it out?? It has to be affecting his breathing
Stuck shed in nose??

That's pretty common. It's important not to pull on it because it may still be attached along the membrane in his nose. When the shed is ready to go you'll see a plug start to appear from the nostril and may look loose while he breathes. You can gently rub it with a q-tip or similar to help bring it at that point because it is likely detached. Until then, he will be a bit uncomfortable and might breathe from his mouth more than usual. It's part of their face shed cycle though.

Omg I feel so bad for him... it looked like he already had some skin that resembled a plug come from his nose and that little thin layer of skin is what was left. I just gave him a warm bath, as I noticed some more shed around his mouth and eyes.. Poor little thing! I hope it works itself out soon! Thank you again for your advice!
