| Can anyone advise me on this. My corn has started 'flitching' when I handle him. It's almost like a quick muscle contraction. Could he be ready for shedding? We got him on 27.5.09, and he hadn't shed for a few weeks at that point. |

seems happy enough, not shying away from me, so I guess he must be happy. Thanks for the info. |

| I really doubt that him quickly backing away is a sign of him being happy. Make sure your not making any sudden movements. |

| He never shies away Matty, in fact he is always ready to come out, and as soon as I open the viv door, he's there. And I am very careful not to make sudden moves, i would hate him to feel threatened. Thanks for advice though. Ally. |

| Quick thought Matty, it's very hard to describe, but it's a bit like he's tensing his muscles then relaxing them. Doesn't do it all the time. Last night he was round my shoulders for about 5-10 mins, did it for about 10 secs then relaxed again...no idea why yet, but will keep an eye out for your comments. Ally. |
