I would say that by just picking them up and feeling their, spine to the point where their skin kinds of just folds over and they feel like there is nothing to them. That is when you know you have to do something, right now one of my normal females has been off feed for more than 4 months, vet says no parasites, and that she is healthy. But she just does not want to eat, shes starting to look poorly, so next week I am going to force feed her. But thats how I tell when weight loss becomes an issue
