Baby Blizzard shedding

[treegirl]

...How often should I expect my new baby bliz (Moby) to shed? He's about a month and 1/2. I've had him for almost two weeks. He hasn't shed yet--for me.

Thanks!

Every 3-6 weeks depending on how fast he's growing.

[treegirl]

--thanks. He seems to be growing very steadily and has eaten *very* well so far.

Ok....now what if he gets the cloudy eyes prio to shedding and it's time for his meal....should I still offer him his pinkie or wait until he's done shedding and has rested?

[Tim_Cranwill]

Well, don't make him follow YOUR feeding schedule, you should be following HIS. :)

Does that answer your question? ;)

[treegirl]

yeah...I understand that BUT if I do notice he is 'in the mood to shed' (cloudy eyes) should I even offer him a pinkie or just wait a couple of days??

Our hatchling corns shed about once every 6 meals, then about every fourth meal when on fuzzies and hoppers. We don't bother to offer when we notice they are blue, but often with hatchlings, especially the white snakes, we miss the blue stage and when we do offer, they usually eat. Going without food will certainly not hurt him - no harm in waiting til he sheds,
