Not at all, it's part of their natural life cycle.

Well it depends. If they're doing it once or twice a month as adults then there's nothing bad about it. However, stress or toxins (heavy metals, iodine, etc.) in the water can also induce early molting. If it's a chronic problem it can lead to health problems.
