BP won't shed?

Hey there,
I've bought my first male young baby pastel when he was 2 weeks old (born 26 of December. 2017)
Plastic tub temp at the hot side at 90F and he eat almost every Friday (sometimes I lack pinkies) and its seems like he doubled his size!
Yet, he didn't shed and it doesn't seem like hes about to shed. Is it alright?

So what kind of pinkies do you feed?

For what it's worth, it took nearly 3 months for my BP to shed when I 1st got him (and that's assuming he shed right before he was shipped which is an assumption on my part). So as long as your BP is eating, growing, pooping and the temps/humidity are correct, I wouldn't worry too much.

So I think it seems like I don't have to worry right now..
He eat and act normal just won't shed (don't know if he shed at the breeders house)

They only shed if they're growing .... what's the mouse equivalent of a rat pinky ??

Do you have a picture of your feeders

Pinks are only pink for day one through 5 after that it's fuzzy at two weeks it's pup.

While it might not seem important there is a huge difference between pink (no hair) and pup 2 weeks old eyes open. That difference depending on what you are REALLY feeding can explain the lack of shed.
