Beardie shedding. Can i hold him?

[Moxxie1122]

My beardie has started shedding (again!) hes about 3 months old I believe and is starting to get more and more comfortable with me. My little gremlin of a beardie seems to still be okay with being held whilst shedding and I'm worried that if I don't hold him everyday that he'll start not liking being held and ill lose progress. Which I think is what happened last time. Ive had him for 5 weeks. Should I hold him or wait until he's done shedding? I miss holding him but ill stop if its best for him for the time being

You can absolutely hold him. Just be sure to let the shed do its thing and not try to help out by pulling it off. They can get cranky during a shed though, so don't be too surprised if he isn't too into it.

The temptation to pull the shed will be strong, resist don't do it lol

It's hard when is hanging on by a thread! but I would never do it as I know that it can harm them. It's like having the urge to peel a sunburn
