how often should a BP shed?

**Johar** · 03-22-2006, 09:39 AM

i'd like to thank everyone for being so nice so far

i have learnt alot from people over here.

so my question is, i heard that a baby BP would probably shed twice a month or once a month.
right now i have my BP over month and a 1/2 and still no signs of shedding "no blue eyes"

is it normal? im feeding her one lab mouse a week.
she's 8 months old now.

thanx

I usually see sheds every 6 weeks, give or take a bit. It can happen as early every 2 weeks to every 2 months. You may try feeding her 2 lab mice once a week. She should be big enough to take two, unless the one mouse leaves a lump. Don't worry, the shed will come.

Mine also sheds about every 6 weeks, give or take. I am currently feeding him one adult mouse every week, after the next shed, I think I may try to bump him up to two, and see if he takes them both.

This page is underconstruction.......but the first question deals with shedding frequency....it might help a bit.

well, she refused to eat yesterday on her feeding day
today when i was handling her, her eyes were getting little blueish! yay!!

well, i wont handle her, i put a big water bowl that she can fit in easy for a bath

i increased the heat alittle bit under the water bowle
and sometimes i spray her with water and spray the tub with water

Best BP.net advice we got when Cleo was going into her first shed...

"If your temps are right and your humidity is at 60%, sit down and have a beer."
