Shedding

[DredelsPlace]

Do bearded dragons get grumpy when they are about to shed?? I notice that when mine is about to shed he get's really grumpy. Doesn't want to be held or touched. Just feed him and go is what he wants. I know he is going to shed because he is normally a really vibrant shade of orange and it turns a really light shade just before shedding. He's just really grumpy right now and he is getting ready to shed.

My gal is grumpy first thing in the morning during a shed. I found that using a soft wet toothbrush and gently brushing her itchy shed spots really helps. She loves it on spots where she would nornally not let you touch. Like her face and legs. She'll just flatten right out, totally relaxed, close her eyes and let you go to town.
I never pull any of the skin off.

Wow, I should try that. Maybe it'll help relax him.
