Shedding Questions

Postby Joey1983 » Sat Nov 15, 2014 8:11 am

Hello everyone (been a while since I posted)

I was curious about frequency of shedding? My BTS is about 3-4 years old now and he still sheds about once a month. Do they always shed every month or so? Does it slow down as they get older? Just curious I can't find any info on frequency and what the frequency indicates as far as aging and health status etc. Input would greatly appreciated :)

*just clipped his nails today he seems happy haha

My 6-year-old bts will shed every two months, it has definitely slowed down. Your bts shedding must mean it may be still growing. If it is a Northern or Meruke, I can say it is still growing!
