Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??

[Smith123]

I took his hide of him this morning and he made his way to me towards the open door so just picked him up, seems fine in himself.....
After his bath last week I did let him go through a towel but he never rubbed his head, although when I had him out this morning he seemed to be pushing his head through my fingers more than usual..... I am tempted to use the damp pillowcase again as his skin does look ready to peel but last thing I want to do is stress him out or make him sick ?

The next time you're handling him why not let him run through a wet , rough textured towel , in your hands . Keep feeding him through applying vey gentle pressure .... If its a dark coloured towel I can virtually guarantee you will see loads of dead skin on the towel ...

Yes ok I could do that, I guess it's similar to the damp pillowcase method anyway.... Can but try!

Just works ten times better ... the pillow cases are super smooth that's why it's best to use a rough textured towel and as suggested you apply very gentle pressure , not squeezing , just offer a little gentle resistance whilst its sliding through the towel .... before anyone complains

In the wild they will rub against branches ..and rough terrain etc to remove dead skin ..
