    Can you describe the smaller one's enclosure, the temps that you keep her at, how you measure them, and how often you're handling her?

    rarely ever handle her to try and get her to eat by not stressing her

    Your temp should be 90-94 on the warm side and 80-84 on the cool side.

    Make sure you measure them with a digital thermometer/hydrometer (Not dial or stick one)

    Your humidity should be 50%-60%

    Make sure your hides are tight enough (all sides touching your BP's body)

    Try adding some crumble newspaper in the tub for added security.
