Ate before they shed

I just had 2 hatchlings take a meal before they shed. The clutch hatched around 9-18 and 2 babies hadn't shed yet so I offered them meals with the other ones that had shed and they took the rat well. How many of you have unshed hatchlings eat? What is your "why" theory? I am sure they will shed now lol.

Plenty of times...They usually didn't absorb the same amount of yolk as the others to cause them to shed.
