I have had my B&W for abround 14 months and she is a sweet big girl. When I first got her she would eat pretty much anyhting...i was told by the breeder that when they become adults they go off of meat and go herbivore....My question and concern is my girl has become very pick about what she eats.....especially when it comes to fruits and veggies....she will only eat bananas...and what ever I may hide in a turkey meatball....Is this normal?

She is also having shedding issues....she shed half of her body down to about her hips and then it just stopped...I am going to soak her again to see if that helps but I am thinking it may be her diet....her temps are exactly where they should be and the humidity stays at around 60 although it did drop to 50 the other day.....but I was spraying her enclosure well to accomidate that....oh and she does have a nice big water to lay in.

Thanks for the help
