Should you dry them after a bath?
Hi,
I have bought a 6 mth old Hermanns. I was wondering, should I dry him off after he's had his morning bath? At the moment, I am gently dabbing him with a peice of kitchen roll and then putting him under his basking lamp to dry off. Should I be doing more? Thank you Jen |
