when to feed after shed
I feed mine the day he sheds. He's always more than eager to eat since I don't feed as he gets deeper into shed.

are there really any guidelines to feeding during shed? I feed mine if he's in shed or not, just sticking to his weekly schedule. I've heard some balls may not be interested, but if they are go for it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't noticed any health hazards for feeding during shed.

I feed mine in shed if they'll eat and it's feeding day. I've never had any shed problems. I've also fed fresh shed babies, but one thing to look for is to make sure he's had a clean shed. If he doesn't you can deal with that before you feed him and not after.

I don't feed during the shed cycle, but it's not harmful do to. I've heard lots of people doing it successfully.

I feed live, so at the risk of refusal and not wanting to house a filthy stinking rat (literally), I found it more successful to wait till after the shed.

I'm somewhat new to the hobby so take it for what its worth but I stick to my normal weekly schedule. I have never had a food refusal in the year I have had my little girl.

Sorry no offense to rodent owners!
To explain, I am not set up to house a rat. Thus, since I only hope to keep for one or two days , I place it in a bucket WITH food and water. The amount of excrement and smell in such a short time without bedding is quite odiferous!!!
