or it could be because he has some problems. Check for any injuries or bugs (mites). How often does he eat? And how long have you had him? If you have had him for a while, how far apart were the sheds before?

It is possible that the move made him shed earlier than normal. My adult anery has shed that closely once or twice. His shed intervals can be quite varied.
