Did some searching and most of the answers to this pertained to taking Eldritch claws with a Totemic Transformation or Aspect of the Beast, but not whether it could carry over while wild shaped.
First the question: Would a druid who has received natural weapons from a totemic transformation and who has taken the Eldritch Claws feat, be able to apply that feat while wildshaped?
From the transmutation polymorph rules, you would lose any specials that relied on your previous form - i.e. if your previous form had scent and your new form does not, you lose it while polymorphed.
To qualify for Eldritch Claws, you need a BAB +6 and possess natural weapons.
The answer to that question to me at least seems to be YES. My previous form has natural weapons (2 claws and a bite), my new form would have one or more natural weapons that seems to meet the qualification of possessing natural weapons in both forms.

IMO, yes Eldritch Claws would carry over. Once you've qualified for the feat you should be able to use it in another form. Example, if you had power attack you could use it in your next form (I guess that form should have 13 strength).

Since it is derived from a feat, I don't think it's necessarily tied to form.

Yep, we agree. I believe that if you meet these requirements in your new form, then you'd be able to use Eldritch Claws.
Happy gaming.
