She's in an AP rack 41qt tub, with snug fitting RBI hides, temps are 89-91 warm end 80-82 cool end. I do think pairing her for the first time put her off food, but she's also been a difficult feeder the whole time I've had her, which is probably why I got such a good price for her in retrospect. I should have realized something when the woman told me taking her outside for a play in the grass helped her eat, but I didn't put it all together at the time.

Ok good, it makes sense to use as an appetite stimulant if it has that side effect anyway, I just don't want to hurt her and I'm starting to think this may become a recurring "thing" with her.
