Ok so newbies

We just got these 2 from someone local. The guy had these 2 for about 6 months but not sure on either hatch dates. He got them from 2 separate breeders, not related because he originally had plans to breed them.

He says 1 male 1 female, which we are inclined to believe. Based on size, how old would you guess they are? Im thinking they still aren't sexually mature and maybe at the 1 year mark. (BTW i have small hands)

They both are having issues with shedding, as you can see. We've been working on clearing it up but any suggestions would be appreciated. I want to avoid doing tub soaks but not really sure how to help remove old shed without it. They came with these areas on the tail and hind legs not really shedding properly amd I've noticed its way more difficult to help manually remove the spots compared to all of our other critters or to get them to she properly compared to everyone else.

Also my fiance and I have different opinions about feeding seeds/lentils to the uros. He says no because it can cause them to become dehydrated but from what I've seen its safe to give, so thoughts please!

Ok I figured yall were the best place to help with math and suggestions

We aren't exactly trying but we aren't stopping anything either. I had a baby (5/13/25) and didn't have a cycle until April 8-14 very very heavy and 2x as long as prebaby cycles.

Ovulation was estimated was 4/21. We had sex 4/19 or 4/20 do definitely in the window and he did not pull out. We also had sex again 4/22 or 4/23 and he did then (but I think he wasnt quick enough and so didnt keep it all out) my period was due 5/5. Before baby I was super reg to the day and always had it in the evening, so like down to the hour even. Anyways I had a very small amount of pink 5/4 when wiping that only lasted for a few hours. I tested that morning to check (before the pink) and of course it was neg. Ive tested today with one of those $1 dollar general tests and neg again today and of course still no period. So is there a possibility that I am pregnant just not able to test pos. Anyone with experience on this topic?
