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! |

I agree with Louise. If he has grown that much then shedding more frequently isn't unusual.
Wow a male that eats! I'm in shock   |
