Hormonal component to shedding?

[chris-uk]

I'm in a bit of a shed fest.

Four days ago Adora started the fest, she was overdue by around 30% compared to her median shed gap.
Then came Sybil yesterday, who was a little early (about 20% less than her median).
Then Lipwig today, who was really early at 50% of his median time.
Lastly was Twoflower this evening who was only a few days over his median.
Nobby is currently blue, and will be shedding much earlier than expected.

So, if Adora Belle (adult female radix) has triggered a cascade... I'll discount Twoflower because he was due anyway. Lipwig is interesting because he's also a radix and lives in the viv above Adora (also interesting is that he's gone from blue eyes to shedding in less than 48h, he'd normally shed 3-4 days after blue eyes). Nobby is a parietalis who lives with Adora, so her going into shed much earlier than expected is also interesting. Sybil doesn't strike me as being significant as she was fairly close to an average gap.

It's just one group of close sheds, but a couple of them are interesting.

I'm now up to five sheds in five days, and Nobby is still to shed. My little radix girl shed this morning, I'd not seen her eyes go properly blue but was working away Weds/Thurs so the slight hint of blue I saw on Weds before going away must have been the start of her own blue phase. Iodine was overdue this shed (I don't have figures as this is just her second shed with me, but she is 4 months old and had gone 5 weeks) so I don't see this as an unexplained shed caused by a hormonal influence.
