Help Help help! Bad Shed? This is my first....
OKay so I expected Althea to give me a nice skin no later than Monday morning. Now it's Thursday. She looks like crap to be honest! She has little holes in her skin where her nostrils are so she is breathing okay, but the rest of her is a wrinkled icky mess. She's been like this since Tuesday. Humidity is 70%. She is moving around real slow, she's got caps on her eyes. She just hides in her little cave all day. Sometimes I take her out and put her in her water real quick to let her get wet, thinking that will help. But she just climbs out, pees a little, then right back to sulk in her cave.
I saw the "shed tutorial" post. Is it time to take action? Should I put her in a container and make her soak for an hour and see if I can help her out with a wash cloth? (I know she's got to be hungry too, she eats on Fridays and I didn't feed her last Friday because she was suppposed to be shedding....) Anyway, If I do this... I am not on well water. There is chlorine in the water. Do I have to get bottled water and heat it up so it's luke warm or is just tap water okay to soak her in??
I know she can't see well, so if she still hasn't shed should I try getting her a Hopper for tomorrow (she usually eats adult mice) just so she isn't so starving?
Help me out guys, really at a loss and this is my first time!!!!! She looks horrible, all sitting there with that big long wrinkle going down her whole body.... she just needs to shed!
