    Try to not take him out at all during shed cycle; he'll manage himself, and if he doesn't, try helping him AFTER he's tried himself.

    Thanks very much! This article was so helpful... I have just noticed a 'pink belly' in my BP and got really scared. But your post explained everything so clearly.... The photos and video are awesome and really helpful since sometimes it's really difficult to grasp some things about shedding from the description. Thanks a lot! :)

    Thanks for this, and all the posts and FAQs like it.

    I've had my girl for almost a month now and she should be shedding soon. I'll know what to look for.
