BHP sloughing

My female bhp is going through her 3rd shed since 20th November. The second shed started about 19 days after the first, and this third one about 10 days after the second. Am i feeding her too much .. she is eating a small rat every 7days, is a year old and about 135cm. Her temperament is very good, has good colour,is quite active and eats and drinks readily and well. Is this just a growth spell .. any feedback would be appreciated

I wouldnt say it's normal, but it does happen. Probably just a growth spurt, but i'd check for mites as well, just to be safe.
