Hi all got up this morning and harley has shed yay!!!

if the shed is stuck get a tub of luke warm water filled half the thickness of harley body and let him soak for 5 - 10 mins let him crawl through a towel and should come straight off hope this helps i had the same prob ith sid last week

you need to get it off his tail as soon as you can..
like egg suggested a bath in luke warm water WITH a thermometer in to make sure its at about 27'c and then let him wriggle through a towel with some slight pressure on the tail and it should come off

or you could put him in a transport plastic carry case and put a towel in there soke it completely and make sure it is 27c and put the case in the hide so it stays warm! i did it with my corn and it helped alot!!
