advice please

Mine has been off feed for more than a month, and she`s in her hide the whole time.
She sometimes stick her neck out, and I can see she`s not blue.
I normally handle her only when she`s out and avoid disturbing her when she`s in her hide. For that reason, I haven`t handled her for more than a month now. Is that ok? Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Mine has not eaten in over a month and I'm sure it's due to light cycles of the winter and the fact that it's a glass enclosure and very sensitive to temp fluctuations in the room it's in.


I'm not handling mine until after he feeds again, to help reduce stress. I may pick him up to move him to a different part of the enclosure when I'm tidying up in his enclosure, or if I want to weigh him to monitor his weight (he's not lost a significant amount of weight and has good tone and doesn't appear skinny). So, while it's frustrating that he won't feed and I've not been successful in tricking him that it's not winter, I know that he's still healthy and will eventually feed again.

I've also filled his tank with loosely crumpled newspaper to let him feel even more secure in his enclosure. The only time I've taken it out was when he was in shed and I needed to mist the enclosure more often.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the replies, really apreciate it.
She went off feed for about 2 months same time last year, so I think she`s going thru the same cycle.
I was just curious whether I should pick her from her hide or just wait till she come out on her own.

Thanks again.
