I agree with Gio about shedding coming on slowly and mild, and progressively getting darker.
If I'm not looking closely or handling my Carpets, sheds are a surprise to me. Especially my Jungle girl. She just shed on Saturday and I had her out for play day the previous day. I was holding her a lot and had no idea that she was in the blue. I was actually a little shockedto find the shed the next morning.
Fortunately she is a sweetheart even in the blue.
