Hi all
Apologies for not being online much but i have a question.

Im sure i have heard somewhere/ sometime about excessive shedding and im wondering if anyone has any information on this? I have it in my head its not a good thing? (will do some more research after this post)

My 2009 royal shed last on the 21st June and has now just gone blue again. He weighed in at 907grams on the 9th July. His previous shed to the 21st June was the 26th April.

My 07 last shed on the 28th May and then again on the 1st August. Weighing in at 1.003grams on the 9th July

Am i being paranoid or is my 09 shedding rather quickly? Temps and RUBs are perfect. No new additions so no exposure to 'outsiders' Both eating and pooing well (not perfect i must add but very well for this time of the year)

Thanks in advance
Ant

21st June to ~21st August doesn't seem that bad.

I wouldn't worry. My royal is smaller but he's been shedding about ever 21-24 days since I got him - if you were to weight him I wouldnb't be surprised to find he's just having a growth spurt
