She wont drink

[anabelharruson]

She moulted about 3 or 4 days ago and now she's out and about and has eaten but her abdomen is so small and I think its dehydration I can't get her to drink anything I've tried water on cotton buds and I spray her most days and i have a water bowl in her enclosure but she stays at the top of her enclosure so she doesn't get to the bowl

This is her before the moult

Normal for the abdomen to be small after a molt. Give her time to harden up and then offer well-fed and hydrated prey, she'll plump up in no time

I've fed her 2 times cince her moult about 5 days ago and she's not getting any fatter i don't know why and I wached her eat it so I know she didn't just catch it and leave it im just worried she's not getting enough food or water

Did she eat what you fed her? If yes, I wouldn't worry. They can hydrate from sucking the juices out of their prey.

Lmao relaxx, it drinka when it eats prey. If u tried giving it water and it wont drink you cant force it. Also its 100% normal that its abdomen isnt plump after a moult. Youre stressing for nothing, there no issue at all.
