3 sheds... 2 months

[snunior]

Wow my little girl eskimo is in shed for the 3rd time this month...shes already gained 100 ounces since being with me. I love her and shes growing so fast (i believe thats a good thing)... I even thought she was dehydrated because of her extra skin! but at the vet she was fine.
Is 3 sheds in 2 months a lot?

I am sure you mean 100 grams not 100 ounces (100 ounces=6.25 pounds)

3 sheds in 2 months....just means he is growing fast

I've had jake a little over four months... and you can almost set your calendar by when he sheds. He has gone into blue EXACTLY on the 6th of every month, except for this month, it was the 11th. He's also growing quite a bit. About 50-75g a month. He was 120g when I first started tracking it... about a week after I got him, and now he's over 340g.

Monty has shed 3 times in the just under 3 months I have got him.
He is growing fast too but I never throught to weigh him.
First shed was fine, two pieces, one or two retained scales on the top of his head.
Second shed was terrible, came off in scraps all over the cage and took two soaks and two long and stressful (for both of us) sessions to peel the retained off.
Third shed (last night) was fantastic, one tight shed ball, no retained. I listened to advice and made his cool hide a humid hide the minute he went dull, also misting twice a day to keep the humidity around 90%

Colours are so vibrant post shed, he almost looks like a lemon pastel.
