I never do ... My current Royals show zero interest in eating when in shed mode .. they just disappear...
I did have a Pastel Royal many years ago that would eat every day and he took a a warmed up rat one day ( whilst in shed ) but didn’t bother to eat it .... unbeknown to me of course !!!
The smell after a few days was absolutely disgusting !!!!
