just doing the normal 48hr after feed check on the guys, lightning is in his normally chipper mood but the underside of his chin seems baggy or stretched almost, any thoughts?

i could be just imagining it.

It sometimes happens, bit strange but there is a lot of skin in that area. Tends to be an early sign of a shed on its way too, it will soon spring back.

Eyup, that's a shedding sign all right!

Here's my guide to shedding snows, and #4 is Lister and his flabby preshed neck!
