Belly is a little pink. Shedding?
05/05/2012 Didn't eat. (Live)
Weight 262g Belly doesn't look as pink maybe not shedding. 12g loss since we got her.
Is the 12g weight loss something to worry about? Damn I wish she would eat.
Temps correct. 92-79
Humidity correct. 50-65%
Didn't handle her all week.
She is using both hides.
Feeding late at night with lights off.
Only light a night is the blue LED lights. (Rope lights from Walmart. 12')

At that weight 12g could have been lost in a Poop :) I wouldnt worry just yet I had a 295G little guy go off feed for 3 months lost 45g and bounced back fine :)

Yeah, doesn't look like it's lost any weight...I would say the 262 grams is probably close to its true weight and that if anything has probably gained a few grams since you've had it.

.... and YES! I have found from my experience that Tubs / Racks typically help problem feeders.
