I hate it when Wiggles is in shed. While he's normally very active and engaging, sometime too much so, when he's shedding he disappears and doesn't reappear 'til he'd done. This time he checked out for a whole week. I still opened his enclosure nightly, but he wouldn't come out. Every couple days, I'd give him a poke just to make sure he was still alive.
My daughter's boyfriend came over for dinner for the first time yesterday. He really wanted to meet Wiggles, but Wiggles would have none of it. Of course, today he shed. I'm just glad to have my friend back.
