I have a young amel FT who just finished with her first shed with me. She has a small amount of shed stuck on one of her toes that I just can not seem to get off with gentle rubbing. I have been making her moist hide extra moist and rubbing on the shed gently but it is not coming off. Can I try a soft toothbrush or put her in a warm bath? I am not sure what else to try. Her skin just looks so delicate, you know?

get a damp wash clothe, and let her walk on and in it. Make sure it is warm but not hot. the moisture should help get it nice and soft and then with it crawling through the materail it should help get it off.

Yeah a moist hide will help out alot and you can also put her in a warm not hot but warm bath for about 5 minuts and then see if the stuck shed comes off good luck.

Most of the time my aft gets it off no problem but in some rare cases she does not get it off her foot and i find that giving them a warm bath helps and make sure the waterline does not go ubove the feet otherwise they drown hope this helps

if you take a small dish, like a pie tin, then fill it with 1/2 in or 1/4 inch of warm water it should then come off with gentle rubbing, or carefully with tweezers.
