Hi there, am a new owner of 2 adults. The male has a sort of white fluffy stuff around his neck and front legs. Is this something to worry about? Thanks

Does it look like skin kinda floating there or a white fluffy bump?

It looks kind of like skin.

It is normal shedding. Atleast thats what it sounds like.

Thank you very much. It is quite daunting being a new owner.
