So i got this girl last month. She was born in July. She always ate for me, ravenously. But in the last week she has started ignoring her food (mixture of EVO cat food with various greens and even a tad bit of fruit from time to time). Her diet has not been changed.
She's in a 40 gallon breeder with aspen shavings and a large soaking dish. Warm end (UVB/heat lamp) is 100 degrees and the cool end is in the high 70's/low 80's. She's been visible more lately, basking under her lamp (on the rock slabs available). Before, she was almost always buried somewhere. She shed the other week. She's in the "critter room" with the tarantulas and frogs, so there isn't a lot of activity/noise to stress her out. I also handle her regularly for a few minutes (typically at feeding time), but I don't leave her out in the open or let the cats or dog bother her.
She doesn't appear to be weak, and already had some good weight on her, so I'm not worried about her starving any time soon. But does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this, and how to turn her around?
