    Re: shedding

    Sounds like she's having a bad shed... are the head pieces still connected to her body?

    no it looks like the the skin on her head is gone but the rest of her body still looks to be in shed...her skin is really loose on her body so im just anticipating the rest of the shed but not sure when that is going to happen

    Re: shedding

    Usually a sign of a bad shed... if only one piece comes off. I suggest waiting for a little bit and then soaking her in semi-warm water for an hour or so, under strong supervision.
