he should be ok until you get the moss tomorrow. Just so long as there isnt any skin stuck on the eyes or the tip of the tail should be fine till tomorrow.
I tend to bath my Boo in some warm water but not only cause of shed, she loves the water

I wouldnt recommend handling whilst in shed as they have limited sight and will probably be a bit moody...

agree with dazb.
Boo dont like being handled when she shed last week. she didnt bite or hiss but when i went to stroke her she moved into the tightest spot she possibly could.

as above their limited sight while shedding can stress them out a bit as it is so hands reaching in won't help.
