At 5am I woke up with an unexplainable urge to go check on Duke, I did and he was about half way through shedding, I got to watch him do the other half. They really do roll it off like a sock. One single piece and because it was fresh I was able to unroll it and do my inflate it to get the creases out trick.





Very impressed and Duke did a perfect shed so incredibly pleased.

Ha - that's brilliant!

That's why you woke at 5am. Duke was sending you some royal telepathy - 'Da-ad, watch me! Watch me, Dad!'

Superb shed. Congrats!

Congrats Bob. I'm hoping Tia's next shed will be complete so my oldest son can take it to play school. That should put the wind up the ladies there.

I Maintained a steady 70% humidity from his eyes going blue and I'd like to think it helped. Its worth a try next time yours goes blue, I just put a wrung out flannel on his hot side hide and just took it out to wet it down and wring it out daily. I took it out this morning and the humidity is already starting to fall back to normal.
