    Shedding and Feeding

    I noticed yesterday that my 4 year old female has opaque eye caps meaning she's getting ready for a shed. This will be her first shed since I got her.
    Next Friday is feeding day but the place I get my rodents requires I place my order by Tuesday to get them on Friday.
    So would it be advisable to place an order this week if she's going to be in shed? I'm not really set up to house rodents for a week or 2.
    Also I feed in a different enclosure and I don't want to be handling her if she's got opaque eye caps.
    Thanks in advance.

    Better off to skip if you don't have a means to take care of the rodent. Some of mine eat and some don't so until you know your new girl better I would advise skipping.

    Regards,

    I just had another look and they're not completely opaque but they are a slight bluish grey colour. She was in her cool hide and I opened it up to have a look and she hissed at me so she getting the pre-shed crankyness lol.
