 3-5 days.  I have fed mine once eyes cleared.  If it will eat it is ok.  If not wait until skin is shed before trying again to avoid stressing.

It sometimes takes more than 2 days to shed once the eyes have cleared. I think the longest any of my balls have gone was over a week! You can attempt feeding, it wouldn't hurt, however none of mine really ever take it until after they shed, so I just wait now.

Mine sometimes take up to almost a week after the eyes go white, then back to normal. No reason to worry, when you find the shed, you can feed. One of mine eats in shed and the other wont. Each individual is different.
