I'd not waste food if it was me, it's common for them to refuse food during a shed (though not a rule, plenty do eat) and it does them no harm to wait.

I know he has a good apetite and he would eat its just he has never been due a feed when he has been in shed (he sheds real fast) so i thot if he fed he would apend mor time digesting than trying to remove his old skin

Feeding him shouldn't affect his shed lol they still move around when digesting so shouldn't have any problems
