Hi all! Well i think i'm being a nervous new corn owner but Norman is keeping himself very much to himself. Last wednesday (8 days ago) i fed him a two pinkie feed and he didn't come out for a couple of days, which is quite normal for him after a feed. A couple of days later he was just peeping his head out but i haven't seen him at all for about four days now. He shed the very first day i had him, which was about five weeks ago, so i do think he's getting ready to shed again. Is it ok to lift his hide and check him out? Always avoided doing this as it's his safe spot. Also as he's a snow the signs of going into blue would be hard to spot so don't want to stress him out for no reason.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated! |

| It does sound like hes keeping himself out the way. and given the time scale could be blue. As for looking. I always lift the hides on my guys (right or wrong) The always seem happy to be picked up from there. but they been here a while now. I not got a show but having seen a few i imagine it is very hard to spot blue. Sure some of the more experienced guys will be along to help out soon. |

Ok so quick update. Checked Norm out a couple of days ago and he was definitely misty eyed, couldn't notice any pinkness though. Then last night he started poking his head out and had gone clear so figured he was probably ready to shed. About twenty minutes ago went in and there's a perfect shed sat there! All off in one go. Annoyingly i was in the next room the whole time so could have nipped in a watched it! So proud of the wee chap. Should I give him a feed tonight? It's been 10 days now so I'm sure he's peckish! |

Glad the shed went well  I feed mine straight after shedding, and they're always happy to take it |
