i went from hoopers to a adult prekilled mouse last Saturday now today i tried to feed her but no luck.her eyes are a bit blue so i think she might be about to shed so i'm not sure if she is not eating because she had a big meal last week or because she is about to shed?sorry for the noob questions i just got her 5 weeks ago some i am still learning i want to make sure she is comfortable and happy.tnks

As David said some will eat while they are shedding and some will not. theyre vison is slightly impaired while shedding so they can no see as well as they would like to. Once they shed if they have fed before, you should have no problem feeding them.
