hey, this might be a daft question, or me worrying too much but is there any way to make my beardie's shedding a bit more comfortable for him? he seems to be quite uncomfortable and itchy and wondered if theres any techniques other than bathing him to make him a bit more comfy and help him shed?

Bathing is the only thing u can do really mate , just dont try pulling any off for him this could cause him a problem if not quite ready to come off , which areas is he scratching at ??

everywhere, looking at him you can see the skin discolouring ready to come off all over, he's rubbing his head off his branch earlier but he's down to his shoulders now! I've put some cork bark in with him so he has something a bit more abraisive to scratch on

ALL SOUNDS GOOD MATE U CAN BATH EVERY DAY WHILE SHEDDING ASWELL , JUST WHEN HE SHEDS TAIL MAKE SURE TIP COMES OFF SAME AS TOES SOME TIMES U MAY FIND A BIT NOT SHED THEN THIS CAN CAUSE FEW PROBLEMS BUT WITH BATHING ALL SHOULD BE GOOD ( SORRY BOUT CAPITAL LETTERS )
