Yup, perfectly normal, some will feed some won't. Next time she's in blue and due a feed, I'd wait until the day she shed x

again i can only say what mine do, they go milky for a couple of days, then deep blues and their eyes cloud for a couple, then clear for anything upto 10-14 days and then shed

how every lightning has a very quick cycle, and is milky for 2, deep for 2, clear for 2 then sheds on the 7th day. how ever midnight, is milky, dull for about a week, then its takes about another week to hit deep blue and then clears for a week and sheds. and she wont eat if shes milky or blue. but gains more weight than lightning. they are different. just record every feed and shed, and if anything is different in the future you will pick up on it x
