I've got a childreni about the same age. His last shed was a week ago and before that only 2 weeks. I thought something waswrong but I'd just moved him up to feeding fuzzys so maybe the growth pattern changed with higher intake?

Increse the humidity to help the sheding process.

Hatchies grow fast and shed often, if it has a bad shed make sure you get all the old skin off especialy around the tail tip

our stimmie shed every fortnight for around 2 months at one stage it was during summer hers however were all perfect, i was concerned and asked a vet's advice he said she was healthy and growing well and not to worry to much.
