    Question When to feed after a shed?

    This is my first BP and he is about to shed, he refused the last two meals, which now makes sense. How long after he sheds should I wait to offer a feeding?

    Re: When to feed after a shed?

    Up to you. Some people offer on the next scheduled feeding day, others offer right away or within a couple days after shedding. Twix shed in the last 2 days and I just gave him a mouse and a small rat. I typically feed on weekends.

    My fire ate last week and had a perfect shed two days later.

    my firefly refused to eat once and they next day his eyes turned blue. I fed him the day after he shed and he took it good.
