Last night I caught Sylar going into her moss (it's a tub with a hole to get in / out)

She has not came out yet, she is still in there. Is this normal behaviour? Is a shed going to happen soon?

Well I'll do that then when she starts, thanks Simmy

Yeah its all i did. You dont even need to handle. Somedays i just uncovered her from her hide to check she was ok.
NiallP Posted - 25/11/2011 : 15:57:28
So just regular short handling sessions to check she is okay?
Simmy_82 Posted - 25/11/2011 : 15:33:02
Best not to distrub them too much. I try to check on mine every other day (if i havent seen her moving about). They can get a little stressed about it as they vision is impared and they feel vulnerable.

Mine shed last night and i've handled her twice in a week and a half just to check everything was ok.

Another quick question, when Sylar starts to shed, is it okay to handle her during the process or not?
NiallP Posted - 25/11/2011 : 14:38:48
Well it's removed now and I will put it back when I see some signs of shedding, thanks
Simmy_82 Posted - 25/11/2011 : 14:30:23
Should only put it in if she's had problems shedding before. SO see how this one goes. If she is looking a little duller and hiding alot then she will be getting ready to shed. Can take anywhere from a week to 3 weeks for the whole process (mine takes week and a half to two weeks).

I've took it out now and I'll put it back in when I notice she is starting to shed
NiallP Posted - 25/11/2011 : 14:24:39
It's been in since a few days ago, I have no idea when she's meant to shed so I put it in incase she was going to shed

Is the Moss hide always in your viv? Should only really be in there is she is due a shed.
