Hey guys.

Just wanted to start a discussion on molting. Trying to help a friend with her boy that molts severely. Is also a plucker atm.

Just wondering from your experience what is the usual frequency, amount and what you believe increase/decreases the amount.

Echo has only molted twice in 15months. Both times in Jan to March. He was 6 months old with first and it was a big one. Had a huge diet change and molted again same time this year. Its summer here when he starts.

Do diets, housing tempretures, stress, sunlight etc affect molting?

Just curious from what others have observed please.
