From what I've read, it is perfectly normal for them to change color
completely with their shedding cycle. My Copernicus just went through this:
he went from silver to sterling silver in one week (almost all of his black
guard hairs fell out), and now he has gone back to silver. I wouldn't be
alarmed unless the hair falls out and doesn't grow back.
