I am SO glad it's 64 degrees in Minnesota today, as it has made my big boy Harvey's shed so much easier this time. He's gotten two baths in the last two days, followed by mineral oil rubs. Tonight his skin just fell off so easy, and he's used to the spa treatment, getting brought out of his water tub, dried with a washcloth up and down, scratched, and gently peeled in spots where he needs it. Then I grabbed a mineral oil wipe (made from pieces of paper towel in a little round plastic bin covered in oil) and rubbed him some more, wrapping my hand around his body, and moving down slowly. His eye caps are gone, but I also use the wipes to gently touch the caps if he does need it.
I do use a floor humidifier and spray his cage several times a day to keep humidity up, but winter just really sucks for him.
Now he is so shiny he looks like a cartoon!
That is Harvey around my neck in my photo...
