will you settle for just an opinion from me???? *grin*

iZ is *just now* starting to look plump all the time instead of just before he poops ... i don't know if that's cuz he was so sickly before he found me, or if that's a baby ig thing ...???? it would make sense that they don't get really plump til they're bigger and more able to protect themselves ... and when they're little, they'd wanna be more 'stream-lined' .....?????

bathing/soaking is *definitely* better than misting! (not that misting is bad!!!) so it really comes down to how little or how much your iglet likes baths .... iZ pretty much hates them ... he gets kinda wet when he gets in the tub to poo (he gets a little shower from the tub hose) but when he's *really* shedding, he needs to soak a bit longer than that a couple times a week ... even 15 minutes will make a big difference! those spike sheds that were really stuck will just slip off ...
i'm thinking about getting some tub toys for iZ ... it worked *really* well when my son was little ... never had a problem with him shedding at all!
