My girl is approximately 4 years old and she has normally been very food motivated, never hesitating to eat unless she's about to shed. However today she refused her usual meal, although while my partner was taking the rat to the trash she struck at me. She isn't in her hide like usual when she's about to go into shed.
One possibility is that her temp and humidity gradients have been sort of wacky recently. For a few days a few weeks ago I couldn't get the enclosure above 40% even with constant misting and even directing the nozzle of a humidifier into her tank. It's been slightly better but I'm still having a lot of trouble getting the humidity to a level above 40%. Also today her cool side got to be about 85, but has since gone down. I'm going to check tomorrow to see if she has any signs of illness, but other than humidity problems she's been perfectly fine, she even passed a healthy turd a week ago.
How long should I wait till I offer her food again? I don't want to offer it too soon and stress her out.
