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.

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.
