Its normal for them to be inactive before shedding.

their eyesight is poor leading up to a shed so they stay hidden away, don't handle her while she's in this state as it will only stress her out

My norm had her first shed a couple of weeks ago. She was ok apart from not eating. Once she was out of blue she fed ok so you can try feeding yours but if it doesnt want it leave it until the next feed.
