Hi there,

Dunno if I am just being paranoid, but one of my gargs (fem) was in shed yesterday, and today she seemed to have finished, but when I went to take her out and she scarpered, she couldn't climb up the walls properly...
I checked her feet as best I could but it doesn't seem to be retained skin...any clues?

Anna

I think just after sheding their pads are not as sticky it may take a few days until they regain thier full use
hope this helps

Give it a day or so it's probably just because she had just shed. Gargoyles are the best of climbers anyway. All the books say they can't climb smooth vertical surfaces, but I find they can - they just aren't as graceful as the other Rhacs.
