My guy is shedding for the first time since I got him. The problem is that he never broke anything off his nose or head area and all the skin below it is where the peeling started.

By soaking him I was able to remove everything but his head, head eyes and nose. all of this stuff is 100% intact. After soaking an hour, the skin looks wet but doesnt come off with the gentle touch of a wet cloth. I tried letting him run through it head first, but it's not been enough to take anything off yet. I tried picking at it with my hands but he doesn't like it when I touch his head.

What can I do here to fix this? He's due to eat tomorrow and I want him to feed.
