My female carpet yearling hasn't eaten for a couple months now. She is not pooping either. she spends a large amount of her time in her water bowl, and she doesn't have mites. I pamed the enclosure just to be safe. The ambient ranges from 70-76. I have a hard time keeping my room warmer than that even with a space heater. when my room is 80 it is uncomfortable for me because its a bit warm.
