Well, of course I just could not bring myself to putting this little guy out. IT turns out that he is only mostly blind and is starting to grow quite nicely. He has shed twice, and I have had to help him get it off both times. One question on this note, does anyone know right off hand exactly what nutrients it is that they get from the shed? I tried to hand feed him his shed but he wasn't interested. He is also getting to where he is eating smaller super mealies like a champ. He's a lot of hard work, but it will be nice to see him actually grow up. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

It is believed that they eat their sheds to retain the calcium. I doubt anyone really knows for sure what all their body gets from eating it. If it is eating and you are suplementing he should be ok good luck with it. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]
