Feeding problems

I still don't think you have anything to worry about, but I agree to taking her to the vet if only to ease your mind. Ditto on only disturbing her to clean/water/feed. Maybe also try covering her tub with a dark cloth for awhile and see if that helps. Again, just keep offering once a week, leave it overnight if she refuses. And make sure to remove any uneaten feeders first thing in the morning! If you're really getting desperate (as in many weeks without feeding), you can again try live with a harmless rat pup. No worry about biting or scratching

I think covering the tank will definitely help as well. Mine is covered on 3 sides with a dark towel.

The only question I have is does that interfer with the day and night cycle. I can definitely try that but if its constantly dark is that a bad thing or am I misunderstanding. Also how long would u say I should keep the towel on the cage?

Bp's do not need a day and night cycle. As long as the tub is getting in light from the room during the day, he will be fine. Most all of us with tanks blacken out 3/4 sides because it makes them feel more secure.
