One of our boys is shedding?

[Julie77]

I think.

We just got them home and set up. One of our new boys (at least i HOPE they are both boys)looks like he is molting/shedding... Do I need to do anything to help that along? I know that I have read you need to Mist them from time to time. How often? And is there anything else that I should be on the lookout for?


*I say HOPE because the guy said he was not sure if they were or not. How do you know? One IS a bit fatter than the other.. That would not mean HE is really an expecting SHE would it? :shock:

My little guy looks dull before shedding. It takes a week or so for him to start. Once he is shedding, I make sure to give him a bath at least once a day, sometimes twice a day. It seems to help.

If you post a picture, someone might be able to tell if he/she is shedding.
