Default KSB Shedding frequency?

Ok so im collecting a KSB at the weekend and she is about 15cm in length (16 weks ish old). At what rate can i expect her to shed?
She is currently eating well (apparently) on a pinkie every 5-7 days.

Any help would be much appreciated. I just want to make sure i get everything right and have a rough idea as to when to add a moist hide to aid shedding (at the moment this is going to be my preffered method of keeping but i appreciate everyone has different ways)

i would imagine at that lenght she could eat more than a single pink, mine are on a rat pup by that size, unless its a male, then it should be on 2 pinks weekly.

no,... you never have to pay attention to anyone unless they are sensible and respectful. any kid that thinks he's all that is mistaken and should be put in his place.
