I have my 1 month old snow stripe hatchie but I have read that it's difficult to notice when there in blue?!

Can anyone give me any advice on what to look for other than the obvious as I can't tell his colour or his eyes that's why it's so difficult

Thanks

The first few sheds are a learning process for you. You'll notice a change in behaviour, hiding away and general grumpyness. There will be subtle changes in colour you might see it, you might not. You'll soon recognise that a shed is coming.

Mostly, their eyes will go cloudy. Thats about it appearance wise for a snow xD
Well, I tell a lie, some people say they go slightly pinkish-er, I dont notice that on Lister.
I also don't get any of the grumpyness or anything, even in blue, he's very laid back. I've found the only behavioral difference is that he'll refuse a feed just before blue, which is a surefire as he's usually a dustbin xD

Ace is very pinkish anyway with light chocolate (milkshake) colour stripes and red eyes but I'm not sure when he is due to shed either
