My male hoggy has just come out of a 3 month hunger strike, so I can sympathise! I think they just like to keep us on our toes.

Wow a male that eats! I'm in shock

I think it's fairly normal for them to shed frequently when they're little. He's grown quite fast, as you say, and a 6g gain is substantial when he's only 38g in total.
I wouldn't worry about it - weight gain is a good thing in male hoggies because they so often have the opposite problem when they're refusing to eat!
