    Well, none of this weight loss has been from poo. She hasn't gone since... well, a little after her last meal :)

    But thanks for the pointers. Hopefully she'll come to her senses soon.

Only thing I've changed is adding a second heat panel on the cool side to help maintain temps in the winter--and this only after she'd been fasting for a month or two.

    My post was for Pandora.

    But as for you, I would think your female is fine. Considering her age I see no harm in her fasting right now, it's breeding season and she's of breeding age. 100 grams isn't a whole lot for an adult female to lose.
