personally i do not offer food until the shed is complete. i do not offer food during blue phase nor after prior to sheding. unless it has been a long time after the last meal i usually wait another day after shedding to offer food. i have never had any problems with feeding in relation to shedding (before or after). i just do not feel it is necessary to add the stress of feeding onto the stress of shedding. i have found that when an animal is offered food during the shed cycle, it ofen leads to a more difficult shed (not always but often). for this reason i avoid it and have seen no ill effects.
