I know this isn't original but...
SHE FINALLY ATE!!!
I switched her to a 12 qt tub on Tuesday, after figuring out that she was stressed due to a much larger tank than she needed. (thanks all who chipped in!!!) I thought Friday would be a little soon, but I thought it was worth a try. Went and bought a mouse, perfect size for her. Dropped it in the tub, and left. Came back about 2 hours later, expecting to see a mouse, and didn't see one! I lifted her hides and everything cuz I was so convinced she wasn't going to eat. Then I saw a little blood and thought to myself "HOLY CRAP SHE ACTUALLY ATE!!!" I wanted to jump for joy right there but I knew it would startle her, lmao.
I haven't posted pics of her yet due to letting her settle in and wanted to get a meal in her first. Hopefully this will become routine for her. I'm so happy!!!

That's crazy big.. and I can guarantee you have incorrect temperatures and humidity in a cage that big..
If she's eating now, she may not later, and/or get sick from improper husbandry.
Anyway, OP, grats on her eating!

75g is about 8 times too big for a BP.

Hey no worries... mine is in a 55 gallon and he is doing quite well.... just make sure that there are plenty of spots to hide, and if you ever have troubles with humidity,,... what I find works for me is tha tI put a wet wash cloth over the hide he is in during shedding times.... so far works every time for me.... Have fun with your little one.
