Providing there is no blood or sore looking skin then yes he is just shedding

Right i think thats ok then but i will just keep and eye on it to make sure there is no sore skin or anything Similar. Just gave him a bath and relased a bit of uric acid (the white stuff? is tht wats it called) and now he seems much more active... think i may be feeding him a little too much but will cut down...
