So I was doing my weekly cage cleaning today and I was going to feed my ball but I will only feed her after I find poop in the tank and I see that she's hungry because she "hunts" kind of, like sticks her head out of wherever she's hiding like she's waiting for something to come by...anyway, there was nothing.

Last time she was fed was on Thursday the 8th. Prior to that she'd been ingesting small pieces of substrate (cypress), I think I posted about it a while back but was told not to worry. I don't keep records on my animals (which I now realize I reaallly have to keep up on), and I have a terrible memory so I can't tell you the last time I found poop in her tank. Also been having problems with humidity (very low) but I'm trying to fix that...anyway is there any way she might be impacted, how much has to be ingested for her to become so, and how much longer should I wait to see if she poops before I should get her checked out?

And this is her...
