I have had my dawrf caimen for 1.5 years now. She has always been a good eater and a pistol.

Recently she has stopped eating. I have offered her everything I could think of (shrimp, fish, rodents). I have offered her these alive or dead(f/t).

The other thing I noticed is that she is not using the water container. She is normally in there quite a it but not lately. The container is big enough she can swim in it. I know that the dawrves are not always found in water in the wild.

The normal room temp is aroung 85. I have gotten her out a couple of times to check on her. She is still as mean as ever and her tail and legs are still fat. She looks like she is still has good weight and no outward signs of anything wrong.

I was wondering if anyone else encountered anything like this or if I need to change something.
