    Has Refused Food For A Week Or More, could husbandry be the issue?



    That's what the tub setup looks like. Hot side temp is usually 88-92 regulated with a thermometer, the cool side temp is usually around 78-80, only time it ever dips into the 77 range is sometimes if it gets cold at night when I'm at work. She's in a 15qt tub, She has two small hides (the reptile basics block black plastic ones that she seems maybe to be outgrowing but she tends to fit in them when she wants to), and a small dish of water. Her humidity is normal, usually between 50-60, sometimes creeping over for a bit if she spills a bit of water or urinates. She was roughly 180g last week when I weighed her. She had a roughly 20g mouse last week and she seemed to eat it fine, didn't even really hesitate. Tried to eat it tail end first but she eventually got it down once when she managed to get the hind legs in. I switched her over from weanlings to adult mice because I was feeding her weanlings and then a few days later she'd be up looking around the tank again for food. She started looking for food about a week after I fed her the adult mouse but now she won't take them. Doesn't even really seem interested. I didn't change anything about the way I presented them to her or the way I thawed them, but she's just not taking to it. She doesn't seem to be going into shed. Only change I made was taking her off cyprus bedding this week to control the humidty but even then I did that AFTER the first time she refused the food so I don't think that's the reason. Any advice?
