First shed since ownership... thinking we shouldn't try to feed?

[bigbiz88]

Hello, we have 2 male, 2 1/2 yr old BPs. We've had them about 2 months now, and after reading this site, I think they're going to shed (cloudy eyes, body color is, well, weird, acting more shy then normal). This has been going on for a few days.

Tonight is their normal feed night, and I'm thinking we should skip it. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.

I would try to feed them but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't eat.

I usually just skip. Won't hurt them to miss a meal, since they probably won't take it anyway. It will save you from wasting food/money.

I agree with Gary, withold food until they shed.

Thanks all. I just found a great write-up here on the shedding process that helped a bunch too. Don't know how I missed that.
