Also you could get some shed ease, i believe it’s called, i hear it’s good stuff, there is really nothing you can do to speed it up, but you can help him out by bathing, etc...If you have a baby, the shed should be over in a coupple days, but some adults take weeks to be rid of all the shed...

You may be able to buy Shed Ease at your local pet store...

okay i been holding onto this tidbit of information for a couple days waiting for a particular question liket his to be asked. okay so feeney has been shedding alot and he is finally done shedding i hope lol. well his legs where white as a ghost on tuesday and we took him out to the fair im talking about 4 hours outside sunlight and overcast skies but still getting uvb and alot of it. and in the middle of the day his shed broke no my little hypothesis is that the more uvb they get the quicker the shed. i dont have any scientific proof of this but iv always noticed he will have some shed not ready but if i take him out for a logn period of time his shed will break and start to come loose and come off thus a quicker shed less stress. also if the shed is breaking try to take him outside in some above normal grass and let him run around in it. the grass will help rub it off make sure he is on leash tho . and depends on the age to.
