Hi and welcome to the forum , Best to leave him for 7days with out being handled , And in regards for feeding you can do that in about 10days , for the shed you can check daily to see if he has left a shed for you and its best to always change the water everyday.

Ash is correct on the seven day wait and daily shed check. However, I'd change the water less frequently than daily, just to minimize the disturbance factor. Unless, of course, he messes it, in which case change right away!

Good luck,
