just a quick question to ask opinions.
both my young hatchlings are currently shedding every 4 weeks, they even appear to have come into phase with each other, both shedding at the same time. they appear very healthy, but wonder if this shed rate is of, or a sign of over feeding and a subsequent fast growth rate.
at the moment they are being fed 2 pinkies every 5-7 days. one is 22 inches long, and the other is 16 inches.
what do you all think, would like them to get on to fluffs to improve the nutrition but they still look far too bike as yet.
thanks for your help.

Hatchlings do grow quite rapidly anyway, so do shed more often than an adult would.

Corns can easily be overfed, so if you are worried try just feeding one pinkie a week or increasing the number of days inbetween.
