    I guess I don't really know what thin looks like in a baby, but she does have wrinkled looking skin when she's bent. She was fed f/t from the get go, and apparently did just fine and hasn't ever been fed live. She was just dropped into a completely different habitat though. She was in a tub with her clutchmates and no hide on newsprint before and now she's in a glass enclosure with aspen bedding and hides. I have the 3 of 4 walls covered and the hides are snug fitting.

    Do I just keep offering every 4 days for a month before trying something else, or should other steps (live feeds etc) be taken before then? Is there any point in leaving the dead rat in the enclosure on paper towel or something? Might she eat it even though it's dead and not moving, of she's alone in the dark?

    The only pic I have is my avatar. I don't want to take her out to get pics and risk stressing her more.

    Her temps are roughly 90 on the warm side (UTH) and 80-83 on the cool side. She's mostly just hung out in the warm hide. Humidity is 50%.
