Has anything changed in her environment, like cage furniture, different cage etc...have you checked the temps...if they are too cool or too warm....they wont eat....check things out...any chance of impaction??? not sure what you use for substrate....good luck...could be a vet visit is in order....

There is so many things that could be causing this, ovulation could be another thing. I wouldn't worry to much if it goes over a month or you notice some runny stools then I would see a vet if she has a good standing weight then most likely nothing

she was in the moist hide again today, but did shed recently? She looks fine...and is still active. I have tile floors and nothing has changed in her cage. She might be tired of crickets now, but she won't eat mealies either? I will keep an eye on her. It has been about a week since she ate and I offer her food every day..and leave mealie in her dish so I hope she eats soon. She is alone, but possibly could be ovulating..so what happens if she is? She is probably close to a year old now.

she poops practically everyday! Her last poop was last night, but I just don't get it..her tail is FAT and her belly is fat, but she hasn't been eating! I did remember one thing that was different this past two weeks that would probably upset her> my Aunt was up visiting and had the lights on at all hours and god knows what she was doing ya know...so maybe she is just stressed from that and confused? SHe left this morning so maybe I will have better luck with her eating again.

I do have a Tokay, but on the other side of the room and some hermit crabs near her...alittle lower, but she could probably see them. It isn't anything new though.

Her temps did get alittle high acouple days ago cause it was warmer weather and the windows were open...I turned off the lamps and things then...but it wasn't TOO high and it wasn't high for long. I don't think that caused this.

If shes pooing and active I wouldnt worry too much right now....

Although if she starts to lose weight if she doesnt eat for you soon, I would seek a vetinary advice...

She ate two crickets tonight...so I guess she is ok. It is possible she was eating some and I didn't see her since she was pooping. She din't poop today though. I hope she is ok. She is climbing around like crazy so she is active and looks healthy.
