    Re: Feeding during shed.

    They shed because the old layer of skin has reached its maximum and they need a new layer for growth. I’ve heard that by feeding you’re potentially stretching the old layer which can cause damage if the layers haven’t completely separated yet. I do not know how accurate this is though, could possibly just be a myth. I think people usually avoid feeding while shedding because their eyesight is impaired and they often will reject food. So it’s better to wait instead of wasting feeders. I really don’t see the harm in waiting so imo opinion I’d just wait until they’re done.
