Shedding and Eating

[JohnnyD]

Do eating patterns change just before or during a shed? My male is just starting his shed and did not eat today.

It can do yes

Nothing stops my Peanut eatting though. If its a feeding day she expects a bug or two, hehe, even during egg laying!

Yes...mine goes off his food a day or so before shedding. He is also fond of eating it as well which is normal.

 

[ajacobson]

yea mine stopped eating before and during his shed.

 

[JohnnyD]

He changed his mind and ate 10 crickets.

I think Gary put it best: "it can"....it might not, or it might just alter the pattern...there's a lot going on there so it's not unreasonable for them to be off on their eating habits.
