Hello,
Fluffy didn't feed last week although she ate every friday before then. Me and my family went away for a few days and feed her on saturday when we got back which she ate really quickly but since then she has been in her hide with her head sticking out, she is normally quite active in the evening and early morning so to be in her hide since friday doesn't seem right.
I will try and pick her up later as it will have been 48 hours since her feed. Is it possible that she wants feeding again?
Any help for this new keeper would be great.
Emma

She will be shedding - their eyes turn blueish or have a milky white tint to it just before they shed to get the skin loosened.

The eyes appear blue as there is a small air gap between the old skin about to be shed and the new skin beneath.

Try not to handle her whilst she is in shed and put a moist hide in with her to help her shed, I use a tupperware box and put a damp flannel inside until the shed is complete it always works and they shed fine
