Mines done this once or twice i hear its quite normal,
It has alot of good stuff in shed too so its not harmful its good if anything lol just abit weird to see at first, zuggies not touched his the last 3 sheds,

But i did read something about them eating it due to lack of calcium/nutrients as the shed has alot of it in so they eat it to get back some nutrients due to shedding, I'm not 100% sure on that as I'm no expert but i did read something along those lines but others were saying it is normal, i use repashy all in one so zuggie was getting properly supplemented he just might of been hungry lol

Hmmm, he should be good with the calcium/nutrients.

They get fed twice a day right now because their still pretty young. The morning feeding, no dusting at all.

I dust every afternoon feeding with calcium (no D3). Every 1 & 3 sunday with multivitmin and every 2 & 4 Sunday calcium with D3

There you go then your sups seem fine, so were mine,
Like i said people were saying it was normal then there were others saying it wasn't,
Personally i think its normal

I don't think anyone has a valid explanation as to why they do it. Some do and some don't
