1) If you mean that your hot spot is set to 80 degrees, that’s way too low. You’re going to want to bring that up to at least 88. Ambients may also be a little low at 76, but definitely fix the hot spot.

2) If she has been eating every 3 days and she is a year and a half old, there is no way she would fit in a 2.7qt tub. What are you feeding her? If you only got her when she was a year and three months old, the breeder must have been starving her based on her size comparison to the 2.7qt tub.

3) Hoggies generally like smaller spaces, so putting her in a bigger tub while she’s having feeding issues will probably make things worse.

I think bringing up the temps will get her back on track.
i got her when she was around 5-6 months old and she only weighed 12gr. she just had eating problems and actually shes been one eating two day old pinkies every 3 days for about 6 months, my bad on that. but i got her in january and she didnt even start eating til late february and didnt eat consistently until mid may.

i told my friend to raise the temps and i figured that was the problem too, in the instructions paper i gave him i specifically told him to keep the thermostat set at 96 (it keeps the hot spot at 89-90) but he had it set at 80. and that the ambient temps should be 78-80
