How often should I expect a shed b.p. shed?
2yr old male, named Athens, he was going through a bad shed when we got him about 10 weeks ago. I soaked him and helped him shed wonderfully. He was only bein fed once every 3-4 weeks. 300g when I got him, I have been feeding once every five days with adult mouse. 330-40g now. Today I gave him 2 because the small rat still looked to big for him, and He is a champion eater. In 13 feedings he has about 15 seconds combined waiting on him to strike. He goes in the box to eat and he knows it's go time. He ate 2 today like a rockstar. I have tried to look it up , and haven't found a good answer, but how often should I expect him to shed? Humidity 55-65% monitored closely. 90-91 warm side and 80-82 cool. I'm also hoping he puts on some weight from everything I have read he is undersized.

He is doing awesome though! I'm just wondering when I should expect to see him start shedding

A typical adult mouse is too small for him.
At 330 to 340g he should be on weaned rats (usually 30g to 45g).
If you're using mice, keep doubling up the adult mice (maybe tripling at some point depending on his growth and their size). If you start getting enough food into him on a consistent basis, he'll start gaining weight steadily.
