So I got my baby last thursday and I'm pretty sure he was fed the sunday before that and I was planning on feeding him today.
If I'm right and he was fed on sunday then its been about 11 days since he has had food.

I was told when I bought him that he was in shed but his eyes were normal and so far I haven't seen any signs of shed.
Could the place have been wrong maybe he is not in shed?

Is it ok to feed him tonight like I was going to?

And is it possible he is in shed?

Thankyou for any help

I havent had any problems with feeding and shedding. I follow the Munson plan for feeding(which you can search for here). I have been through a few sheds now and can now tell from experience when he is about ready. I haven't changed his dinner schedule because of shedding. I notice his skin becomes paler and a bit rougher about 5 days before his shed. He also likes to hide under the water dish around this time for a day or two.
Hope this helps.

when you get him home he needs a week to get used to his home. He could regurgitated from stress. a baby can go 3 week between food. He him thursday or this cooming up sunday

You can offer him food today. You've had him for 5 days, and that's plenty of time to settle. He probably would have shed by now if he was in shed, so the place may have been wrong.

Is it possible his little shed skin is hidden in the aspen, if you use it?
