Hi everyone!,
So, to make a long story short, Elvis has a (bad) habit of siting in his poop when he poops and I'm at school and not there to pick it up. By the time I get home around 2ish, he has poop caked onto his legs and belly. (I think he plays in it after he poops, hes not having diarhia, its solid, or whats left of it anyways.) So, therefore, he always smells like poop. I usually just try to wash it off with a soft wet face cloth, cuz with soccer and softball and school work and after-school odd jobs around the neighborhood, I dont have time to give him a bath everyday. He used to not do it everyday, just once a week, and now he is doing it almost every day. I know you cant wash them with soap, so I sent my mom to PetCo to get that shed-ease stuff, cuz I figured, since hes shedding anyways, that I counld just use that when I give him a bath so he doesnt smell like beardie poop. My mom went to PetCo, and asked someone to help her find it, and they asked what she was using it for, ect ect, and she said that it was for her daughters beardie. The PetCo lady asked how often I bathe Elvis, and my mom said atleast once or twice a week, and the lady said that if Elvis is smelling, its not because he has poop smeared onto him, but because he has a fungas infection from me bathing him to much, so she talked my mom out of buying it and convinced her to by some wax worms instead, because those apperantly make a better staple than crickets (yeah, right)
So, what Im getting at here, is it safe to use the shed-ease stuff in the bath, or is there some other alternitive, and am I bathing Elvis too much (The PetCo lady said he should get bathed about once a month)
Thanks,
Kaitlyn and her smelly beardie Elvis.
