Its very normal for a bearded dragon not to eat while shedding...BUT if this behavior continues, and just never eat or there is a dramatic change in behavior it could be a possible sign of a illness. A good sign for shedding is the skin will actually get a white film like look over the skin. It'll look different from different parts of the body because he will not shed all at once, they are not like leopard geckos, Bearded dragons shed in stages.
Remember a bearded dragon doesnt need assistants of pealing of the skin..when the skin is ready to come off, your beardie will try to scratch at it or even rub that part of the body somewhere rough.So please do not peel any of the skin off, UNLESS you see at the tip of the toes (the nails) if you see skin there that just wont come off in a long period of time that's the only time you may help, because that can lead to blocking off the blood flow
