So my 8-9 month old female 'ball' has been getting ready to shed for awhile now, and finally did it sometime last night. So today I decided to check on her since she never came out of her hide. She had finished shedding, but it was in 3-4 pieces. I've been battling with humidity levels since the beginning, and am thinking about switching to a tub. There were also some patches still stuck on her head, and a little around the tail, so I soaked her for an hour and rubbed off the remains with a damp cloth. Didn't seem to bother her at all.
Anyways, along with the shed skin, there was also quite a large pile of feces(poop, urine, and some mucous as well which, to my understanding, is normal. My question is about the trace amount of blood. Not much. Just a very small amount on the damp paper towels I put in her hide.
I asked someone else who has a BP and they said sometimes when shedding, the skin will pull at the vent on their rear, possibly causing a small tear, and thus a little blood.
Just want to know the community's opinions, and would appreciate any input. Thanks.
