The mouse wasnt leaving a bump in his belly so i got it an extra large mouse an fed it 7 days ago. The usual pattern was feed 2 days sleeping, then gets up for a big poop, stays up for next few days being rather active. this time he went to bed an stayed there for 7 days and counting. been up for a drink a poop then right back to bed. caught sight of his (not sure what sex it is really) eyes yesterday an they look a bit cloudy (but not blue like before his other sheds) an he looks dull again. he was in blue when we got him 2 months ago an shed that week. after 7 weeks he shed again, 4 week after that(present day)i think he may be going again. How often do they shed? i didnt think it would be that close together? Could it be that hes just getting some food now so putting on a bit of weight an getting the skin stretch right? Might it not be a shed cycle an be somehtin else entirely? Any input would be gratefully recieved. Thanks. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
