    Quick question about feeding in shed

    Jackson was recently injured, and someone on here told me it would trigger a shed. For some reason, even though I know very little about BPs, my initial thought was "yeah right." Well, I went to give him his neosporin treatment (he's looking much better, by the way), and he's gone blue. (I won't doubt you again!)
    I really want to feed him tonight so as not to disrupt his schedule. From the time his eyes get cloudy to the time he actually sheds takes about a week from what I have recorded in his care book. Would it hurt anything (besides my piggy bank) to go ahead and try to feed him if he'll eat?

    I personally believe it's fine to offer them food when they are in shed. I feed all of mine when they are blue and they all eat.
