Iv had my first veiled chameleon for just under a month, shes about 9 weeks old. She started shedding yesterday and I just wondered if they go off food when they are shedding as I gave her her usual feed but she hasn't eaten it? Usually when I put locusts in there she eats them straight away....

I assume that you are also in the UK since you feed locusts! They can go off food before a shed yes, and they will shed every month as babies. The shed will be complete within a matter of hours. Amy shed every month until she was 6 months old, then it reduced to every 3 months. As adults they tend to shed in sections rather than a whole body shed that babies have. It may take several weeks for an adult to shed their whole body!
