I weighed her when I got her, just over 1000g. I thought, 'Perfect, she'll easily breed for me next season.' That was February. I weighed her at the beginning of June and she weighed 830g. Almost 200 lost. And she was a nice plump girl when I got her, and she's held onto that look up until the last month or so.

I figured when I got her that she was off food because of winter or breeding season. No worries until it's mid June and she's still not eating. And losing weight.

I was also concerned when she made no move to strike let alone kill the live mouse and African Soft Fur I gave her. She seemed interested, but not hungry. I left each in with her for 30 minutes to an hour, while either watching the tub or sitting by the rack (to listen for movement and striking). I've tried this on three separate occasions with four to ten days in between each try.
