Stress can contribute to RI too, so I'd leave her be. Maybe only handle once a week for a few minutes for now. BP's don't need to be handled often to "keep them tame", they naturally are!

I wouldn't even think about climbing for muscle tone, that she's stressed and refusing food. Having muscle tone is great, if the BP is healthy. If the BP is not totally healthy or having other issues, climbing/taking them out to handle is low priority... they don't "need" it to survive. Make sure her warm side temps are on point, and her enclosure is clean with good ventilation, and let her be.

I also agree that if the vet didn't do a culture for her last RI, it's possible she never fully recovered from it. There are different types of RI, and you won't know what medications to use for sure until a culture has been done.

She had no other symptoms other than whistling. I'll leave her alone for a few days. Probably won't handle her at all all week if not longer. Only bothering her to check once in awhile. She's right beside my bed on my dresser so I'll be able to hear for any whistling and wheezing. She has currently stopped with the whistling. She's still circling her tank. But she whistled for a good 15 minutes. She was on meds but was completely fine and ate for awhile. I always keep her tank perfect. She could be stressed from me changing her tank around, handling, 2 vet visits in 1 week a month ago. And trying to get her to eat probably doesn't help.
