I think Tehya is getting ready for a shed, she's gone quite dull and refused to feed last night being her second refusal since I have had her.
How long, roughly, does it take from changing (going dull etc) to the skin coming off?
Thanking you :) |

I think it's only fair to leave them be even if it appears they dont mind it. |

Snoop is not bothered getting handled but I still leave him alone, like GP said they hole up till its done. |

I try not to hold Strawbs when she's in shed, but because she's so calm, i dont think it bothers her THAT much if i did need to handle her.
She wont eat mind, refuses point blank! I've found with her that ince the milky stage starts, she sheds within 5-7days. But like Matty says, it depends on when you notice! |

their eyesight is reduced so handling is best kept to a bare minimum, some will feed, others won't.
i prefer a more natural approach generally - in blue they'd hole-up somewhere safe in the wild and not feed so i don't usually offer any food unless it's an individual i'm trying to feed up. |

thank you for that :) and during this time at any time of the shed you're not supposed to handle or feed them? |

Around 10-14 days. But it depends on when you notice it. |
