    Weightloss and Feeding help
    I am new to the BP world. I got a female Albino BP March 31, 2014. The first week she refused food. I assumed it was her acclimating and we did not have the temperatures quite right yet. The following 2 weeks she was in shed and did not want to eat. She has eaten live and fresh kill in the past, based in the feeding logs from the breeder. I tried feeding her a fresh kill yesterday and she refused again. I would not be concerned except for the fact that she is losing weight. I weighed her on 4/20 and she was 255g and I weighed her today (4/25) and she is 245g. She is acting normal, is very active during the night hours and is extremely comfortable being handled, but she looks thin to me. I know it is normal for BPs to go off food, but is the weight loss normal? I also don't quite know where to go from here because I am allergic to rodents and cannot have them around long term, so if she refuses a live mouse, I have nowhere to put it.

    Her hot spot = 90-92, mid grade = 84-86, low = around 75

    She is currently has aspen bedding, and a moss box to help with humidity.
