Often sick BP will stop eating, which is understandable.

Also whenever you have a refusal do not offer the next day, it only contributes to more stress which lead to more refusal.

Can you give us info on her setup? Temps, humidity, type & size of enclosure, hides, type of thermometer used etc? (Pic would be great too)

How big is your BP?

How often do you handle your BP?

Because she's sick, I've got her in 10G right now on white paper towel with a log hide and water dish. UTH, day bulb, temps around 85, humidity at about 55-60%. I keep the front side covered with a towel so she doesn't me or the dogs walking by; the back is to the wall and the sides are mostly covered. I handle her for about an hour every day, and I've always done this; i haven't had eating problems until recently, however. She's about 2.5 ft and around 1 year old; not sure on the weight but I can tell that she isn't too skinny.
