Some of my guys shocked me when I offered h-b egg. They appeared to like it! I must do some more soon but it's not like they're struggling to find enough to eat. I'll keep trying with the egg (& other veg).... we know how fickle they can be...

This is the latest photo from yesterday. I think his cere is looking a bit better. I haven't done anything, just carried on with GA & other supplements due to their ongoing moults.

I think he is looking better as well. Seems the moult has upset his equilibrium a little, and now he is bouncing back to normal.

Yes, my vet said it was a build up of old skin cells & it started when the heating went on more (if I remember rightly). She said rub a small amount of coconut oil onto it which I did & it did take it off revealing a beautifully normal, blue cere beneath. ps just remembered it also started when we moved into my parents’ house. I suspect the atmosphere must have been drier….

I think it bears repeating the warning that if you do rub coconut oil on the cere, be careful no to plg up the nostrils.

I’d be more inclined to use a liquid oil to reduce the possibility of blocking the nostrils, but some people do swear by coconut oil for all sorts of things.
