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.

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.
