Nekko started shedding early last werk but just his head came off. I waited a while and tried a few things to help him to no avail. What i done yest was to get a bowl of warm water a glove (to replace the towel normaly used) and an exfoliating glove. I dipped the exfolisting glove in the water and let him run through my fingers. He must have known it helped as he stayed away from the normal glove and wen i notived today the tip had been retained he just sat nicely in my hand while i ran it down his tail. All off now, very beautiful shiny and silky.
Ill be doing it this way if there us any future bad sheds.

You could also try the moist hide and water in the warm end as soon as you notice his eyes cloud over....

i did i tried every tip on here, i think the moss hide helped him get started but the gloves were my last option.
