    Unhappy Hatchling hasn't shed.

    We hatched out a het pied clutch about 3 weeks ago. 1 of the babies still hasn't shed. Has anyone experienced this? I don't think he absorbed all of his yolk and I'm concerned he isn't going to make it. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Re: Hatchling hasn't shed.

    I had a few that missed their first shed. they do just fine. now if the hatchling isn't eating and you feel it's time to assist feed. don't let it not shedding stop you from taking the correct action. They will shed it all at their 2nd shed.

    It can happen just feed on schedule just like you do the other in the clutch.
