My normal female will eat through shed even if her eyes are dark and she cant see a darn thing, she is a pig lol. my pastel male will eat through shed 1/2 the time.

They both usualy attack the feeder (I feed live) within seconds of offering. So if the male doesnt feel like attacking/eating 30mins after offering. I take the feeder out and save it for later. He will eat it after shed
