    How Often do they Shed?

    Apologies in advance how often this has been covered but I cant find a thread that just simply says on average how often does a BP shed?

    I believe my Morphine is in another shed cycle and his last shed was the first week of January.

    Does this sound accurate? she is about 5 months old... and eats like a pig! Usually one Frozen rat pup every five days. occasional almost adult in size as well.

    Apologies again if to redundant.

    Re: How Often do they Shed?

    To my knowledge I don't think there is an average per say. They shed as they grow, escpecially if its a little one. My 7 yr old maybe sheds 4 times a year, while my smallest 3 year old sheds about 7 to 8 times a year. I am looking at my data on all of these guys and to be honest I can't see anything that is consistent across all of them. Hope it helps.

    once a month is about right for a growing bp, so if you have a young one I would say it's due
