Shed after shed?

[CopperNightShade]

My little BP is currently about 2ft in length, so she obviously has some growing to due. However, she just finished her last shed not a week and a half ago, and her belly is already pink and her eyes turning milky blue. Is it okay that she is shedding so quickly? We did just switch to feeding small rats from mice... so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

probably a growth spurt, how many times are you feeding her?

We are feeding once a week. Now the first rat offered to her was offered off schedule... so it has gone as:

Two Mondays ago - adult mouse
Last Thursday- smallest rat you have ever seen
This Monday past- small rat

My bp did the same thing, he shedded 2 times in 8 days but after this past shed he hasnt in about 3 weeks now so that might be whats happening. I thought it wasnt normal either but hes fine now.

If it keeps happening that often, it may be a sign of parasites. My original female started shedding once every three to four weeks, so I had her checked, and she had flagellates (one of the symptoms of which is frequent shedding). I'd say if it happens that quickly at least three times in a row to get her a fecal check.

My burm shedded a few times a month when he was a baby.
