She stopped eating, is it normal she stopped peeing?
It's been a month since she last ate. She's 1090 grams and it has gotten very cold in NJ. Also I've been watching her weight and it's been the same so I'm pretty confident she's just chilling out for the winter. The temp in the tank dropped from the usual 73F to as cold as 65F, but I've setup a red lamp after seeing it that low. I've always kept her in the low 70s and never had any issues with her, she's 1 year 6 months old. Eats like a beast.
The only I'm not sure about is that during this time she hasn't pee'd, poo'd and urate'd...is that normal? She does drink from her bowl so I'd think she's ok.

She's also a lot less active, pretty much sleeps all day and night.

They get most of their water from the rodents that they eat so it is normal for there to be a reduction in urine.
Are you talking about cool side temperatures or is the hottest part of the tank in the 70's?

It's really best to have the cool side be around 80 degrees. Generally people say that no part of the cage should get below 75. What type/wattage bulb are you using?

I understand it should be but it's never been and I've never had a single issue. I started using a 75 watt red bulb.

It does look more like the regular one but it does get hot. I'm going to take a wild guess and say I should be using the heat bulb

Yes, the second bulb that I linked to will put out significantly more heat.I would also suggest getting a 100 Watt and using a lamp dimmer to keep the temperature right where you want it.
