Shedding

[Rango3d]

I haven't seen any topics about shedding. When your Cham sheds, how long does it last? Does he or she eats or drinks during that time? Do they have full body sheds or partial? Extra misting? And should you help them along or leave it alone?

I'd just leave it alone, they know what to do. Tilly sheds in stages over about 2 - 3 days. Head first then body then feet kinda thing. She can get a little irritable sometimes whilst shedding but she just rubs it off herself if it irritates her. Don't be tempted to pull it off for them.

Babies take a few hours to a day to fully shed. Normally once every month, sometimes more.
Juvis can take a few hours to a couple days to shed (and they may not do a full body shed)Nomrally every month, give or take a week or so.
Adults normally shed a body part at a time, so it can seem like they are in a constant state of shedding.

To help shed, extra long mistings, with warm water.

Some may not eat while shedding.
