Not Eating, Weight
My BP is just over a year old, used to shed once a month, pooped regularly, was an eating machine never refusing a meal, and 3 months ago weighed a little over 900g. About 5 months ago, I was forced to switch her to f/t instead of live because I had to move to an area where live was unavailable. It was hit or miss for a while with the f/t but then 3 months ago just stopped. She has visibly lost weight and now weighs 860g. She doesn't really look drastically skinny, just a bit smaller then she used to be so I am not too worried at the moment. Basically, I just want to know how much weight does she have to lose before I should start to get worried. I can't figure out if she has just given up eating because she's not hungry, or if she's sick of me putting dead rats in front of her lol. She also used to be very active and moving around her cage often. Now I almost never see her, but I do know that people say a hiding BP is a happy one.
Also, I just switched to newspaper substrate. Do you guys have any suggestions for keeping humidity up? Especially during sheds? I'm using wet towels right now, but they dry out rather quickly.
Thanks!
