How old is your ball?
How often do you feed your ball?
Shedding is directly related to it's growth. Baby balls will shed more often as they grow quicker than adults do.

Maybe your ball "hates eating" (as you so eloquently stated) because of all the pressure on her from the media these days saying that girls need to be rail thin to be attractive. Have you found any regurges in her tank?

My Lily would be the lunch lady, then. The Julia Child of rat. Without the need of class or taste.

Food is to Lily as girls are to Quagmire.

Maybe you could remove all the mirrors from it's enclosure, help it not be so self-concious (consious?).

You just answered your own question, why do you need us?

Boy. Both Lily and Kaw just shed. I was checking Lily's shed out. She sheds so completely, she should be a professional.

Those shed belly scales are so tough and thick. I swear, I understand COMPLETELY why they get cranky around shed time. Holy crap, they're thick and tough and dry (comparatively).

It could totally be a bad shed. Just because she hasn't flaked off some, doesn't mean she hasn't tried.

I admit that sometimes I am a bit flaky with the misting, early morning, have to go to work, no time, etc. I keep a minimum of 50% everywhere, though. And if one is in shed, it only takes a minute to mist.

Poor Lily had a crappy shed last time because SOMEONE was a jerk and neglected her.

I'll never do that again. (She shed last night, a complete piece if I could have unraveled it careful enough)

Edit: To make it clear: Bad sheds are 98% due to poor humidity.
