Shedding questions

Two quick things, should I handle my ball while in shed and should I feed him while in she, his eyes turned blueish yesterday

Your risk of getting bit is higher during shedding. It's a stressful process and they really should be left alone while shedding. You can offer food, but none of mine ever take it while shedding, so I just wait until after they are done now.

I just leave em alone. Most times they don't want to eat anyway, and don't look too happy.

X3 leave them alone none of mine will eat and are in general grumpy while shedding

Thanks for the info guys, yeah he hasn't really been too active lately

Same here I'd also add that there is a slight risk of feeding during shed. most of mine would but i don't offer. The risk is that the soon to be shed skin is not as elastic as the it normally was and that a lump of food can cause the shed to get stuck as it cannot pass over the enlarged area. It is easier to avoid the issue but simply not feeding.
