    shedding

    Coyle just shed last week for the first time with me and it wasnt a very good one. We put him in a warm bath (shallow) and helped him off with the rest of the skin. The eye caps were gone so no problem but I have seen people say to gently use a qtip with mineral oil on it. I am sure others will have some better advice.

    ueah reeses shedded with me for the first time but only half came off so i soaked him and helped him get the rest off. but i was happy that the eyecaps came off i would take a q tip with baby oil and genlty rub it off. but first try to just soak him/her cuz they might just come off.
