    Unhappy Shedding Cut ??

    Hey everyone I need your thoughts on shedding....

    I am now living at a friends house and I pretty much took over looking after his BP, he used to have horrible sheds but now I'm getting him around to having good ones .... except now he has like a cut or something on the top of his head? Is that just him trying to hard to get his skin off?

    I'm not really sure on what to do with it, this is the 2nd shed in a row that the cut is there ... any thoughts?

    Hi,

    Well is it possible he rubbed it against something too sharp or rough in his enclosure last time he shed and just re-opened it this time?

    I would run my hands over all the cage furniture to see if I could find anything that needs sanding down or removed.

    A picture might be a good idea just to rule out treatment steps etc.
