I notice that Felix is walking slowly, and at times he stops and lifts one or two feet up and down while in place. It appears to be very uncomfortable for him to walk. Upon further inspection, his back two feet look really dry and look "scabby" and crusty. (these are the best words I could come up with.)
He is on aspen shavings, and has been for about 6 months, but this really didn't appear to be a problem until very recently (maybe a week ago I noticed this first). Temps are fine although my humidity gauge broke a while back. Does anyone have any help for me and Felix?

Re: Feet problem
Can you post pictures? Is there any leftover, stuck shed on there? A great moisturiser is emu oil. I've bought it online and used it on dry feet and it works great. If there doesn't seem to be any stuck shed and it is just dryness, I'd definitely recommend something like that.
