Feed her while in shed?

Should I wait till she is done shedding? Her eyes just turned cloudy yesterday.

Some will eat while in shed some won't.

if she'll eat, so be it. If not, after the shed. It doesn't hurt to try.

I usually wait until shedding's over because I feed f/t and I waste it if she doesn't eat it. If you want to, go ahead. I've had some eat while in shed before.

Someone else just asked this question...

Generally I don't offer during a shed and if I was too I'd go very small. It is not common at all but it has happened.

It isn't common but it does and has happen. if you do decide to feed go very small. personally I'd not bother unless there was a good reason to.
