Meaning if he were to get an ear plug how would I remove it. He does not have one so I am not concerned. I heard the have trouble sometimes with the ear plugs and you can remove if need be

For the most part they should come off on their own. I have never had an issue with them being stuck. I've even seen my guy use his feet to pull it out himself.

Keep his humidity up and higher during a shed and you shouldn't have an issue.

Toes are more likely to get stuck sheds which can be so constricting they cut off the blood flow causing the toe to die, dry out and eventually fall off.

I don't recomend forcefully pulling off ANY shed and would be especially be wary of ear sheds are you could rip the eardrum, cause bleeding and a higher chance of infection setting in. Increasing humidity and moisturizing with an oil (coconut, veggy, emu etc...) to soften the shed will help it loosen up or come off in the next shed
