I would say that if it is a male ig then shedding is more than likely a stressful time. Considering that you are more than likely approtching him in his domain than you are causeing more stress. while he is shedding just open the cage and see if he wants to come to you. If he is up to it he will come to you. But it is better not to stress him anymore than he is already.
Im sure that this behavior wont last long so in a few days aprotch him and he should be more than happy to have you near.
