| He might have just rubbed himself on something. Usually whilst trying to escape. Is there anything rough in the viv? Or the viv doors? |

on his last feed (friday) he had 2 really big fuzzies, much bigger than he was used to as the ones he's been having looked just like large pinkies, where as these looked like small mice (guy in petshop said they were slightly larger than normal fuzzies, just bought some today and they are normal size this time) but he had no trouble getting em down, took and swallowed them no probs.
Hoe that answer the question lol |

| i think if the skin arond the mouth and head isnt getting streched,that can cause flakes,well that's just my theory lol or he could just be head rubbing |
