    First I'd suggest a read through of the following three threads to help address any shedding or refusal to feed issues. They should be helpful and give you some ideas of things to try.

    Hi,

    Get the skin off her first and then leave her completely alone for a week to settle down again would be my first instinct.

    What was she eating when you got her? Could you find out how they pre-scented the area/ offered etc?
