I came upon this thread because our BP currently has a mouthful of coconut fiber from rooting during her shed. Can I pick her up to get it out or should I wait until after her shed? She doesn't look too happy... but then again, I guess I can relate to the "peeling" stage of good old California sunburns, so NOT enjoyable!! LOL

But seriously, is it normal for them to get a mouthful of substrate during a shed?? ~Thanks!!
