Awwww, gotta love the babies! :)
They shed quite rapidly at that age, usually once every 4-6 weeks... after they grow up, it spreads out to more like 3-4 months between sheds.

I am just going to point out one point there is a slight risk involved in feeding while in late shed. ( blue eyes in mid way through a shed not a beginning the early stages are very hard to see however) The skin to be shed is not as elastic as regular skin and if prey slightly large the shed cannot make it over the digesting prey item. Not common but it has happened it often causes a great deal of stress and in many cases needs intervention.
