difficult shed

[KingJulien]

My lil JJ is having trouble shedding. It has been 4 days and he's still snowing all over his cage, with lots of white sticking to him. He was much faster last time.

I normally mist 2-3 times a day, and don't mist him directly. The past couple of days I have been misting more and misting him directly at times. Is there anything else I can do?

He's a panther, about 7 months old. He's still eating and drinking well, and honestly doesn't seem too bothered by it except when I mist him.

Hey Teresa!! Give him a warm shower. You'll be amazed at the results!!

Thanks Franie. He seemed stressed last time I put him on the shower ( I put him on the top of the shower wall, it's fairly wide, on a towel. He looked like he wanted to jump for it.

Maybe he'll like it better if I put a plant on the shower floor?

I put a plant/tree in. Aim the shower head up at the opposite side of the shower so only the fine mist is on the plant. Some of mine hated the first few times too!
