Hi im guessing/hoping people will tell me not to worry. but my carolina strip ive hadproblems . at first he refused feeds for a month so i took him back to the shop at the end of july got him back 3 weeks later. he shed after 2 of me having back and he ate the week i got him back with me feeding him. but after that one shed he hasnt since. so we're up to nearly 3 month without a shed. but he has nearly doubled in size should i worry or will nature take its course.

Ahhh thats good, glad hes managed it on his own.
I'd just keep an eye on him anyway just incase it happens again, you never know it mite just be a one off for some reason

Good news i found him laying in his water bowl and i thought hang on. so i picked him out and finally after all this waiting his finally shedding worry over.

thanks for the tip yola. however ive got a damp box in all my vivs constabtly so they have a choice.

Put a tub of damp spagnum moss in with him, if he wants to shed hel go in there to moisten himself up.
Have you noticed him in blue atall? If you have and hes not shed then you could have a problem, as he'd be showing signs of wanting/needing to shed but obviously there's a problem and he cant, putting the tub of damp spagnum moss in will help all this. But if you havnt noticed him in blue for a couple of days in all this time that youv had him then I really wouldnt worry

Dont worry,he`ll be absaloutley fine X

If he is looking healthy, i dont think you should worry, if he is eating then fine, if not maybe try to leave it a few extra days than you normally would, might help?

wouldn't worry too much, as long as he's not losing weight
