Howdy y'all
My 2 corns Pandora and Maisie seem to be on a go-slow with sheds. Both have been good shedders in the past, regular, and often on the same day. Since the weather changed though (?) they've lost their rhythm. Pandora last shed on Dec 3rd - 42 days ago, but prior to that was 8th August! Before that she was 38-45 days. She's roughly 20 months old, feeding, drinking and pooing well. Behaviour seems normal too.
Maisie, who's 18 months or so hasn't shed since 7th October and before that was around the 48 day mark. Again, eating, drinking, pooing and behaving normally.
Should I be concerned? Is it the weather? Is it normal for them to slow down in winter? Is their room too cold at night perhaps?

More information would certainly be helpful. It would be interesting to know their length and weight and how much that has changed in the last 6 months (considering Pandora started this strange shedding behaviour after her shed in August). This way we can tell how much they have grown in this period.
