Shedding Issues

[Unstable3lement]

So I have had my baby BP for about a week now and he was in at the beginning stages of shedding when I got him. The only part that has completely shed is his head and the rest remains on him..and looking as if it is not coming off anytime soon.

Any advice on how to help him out would be much appreciated I don't think he likes it much either....

When this happened to my baby ball, I soaked her in tepid water in a plastic tub. I only filled the tub to 1/2 of her body so she could not submerse herself. I watched her closely and then after an hour took her out. The skin was falling off and she even peed in the bath.

This is a humidity issue that I continue to struggle with as well. Do remember that BP can and do drown in water, so please be careful and keep an eye on your new baby : )

Good Luck!

Humidity issues is quite common, I've even had them and of course you would guess I've had that problem before since I live in Arizona--a very hot and dry state.
