    blood after shed?

    Hi,
    One of my bigger girls just shed and I noticed a few drops of blood on her newspaper. I couldn't find any places on her that looked cut or anything, and she had a complete shed. I think I remember reading somewhere that occasionally they will bleed around their vent during shed? and that as long as it is not a lot of blood then this is normal? Just wanted to make sure that I didn't need to be taking her to the vet. Also, I was going to breed her starting in January. Should I give her a little more time, so as not to aggervate the situation? Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas!

    I think i remember reading something like that too. id say its fine.. i think it was because the skin is very raw and not as durable. also i think there like harder on their skin or sumthing.

    Sometimes a little blood my seep from the vent during the shed process, usually nothing to worry about.
