Hi,

So I am currently having a problem with my little female

Setup: rubbermaid tub, aspen bedding, low humidity, temp around 90 on the hot end, hides present

problem- she decided to go on a bit of a hunger strike this spring but didn't seem to be losing any weight and occasionally began taking meals here and there. More recently she began losing weight and recently began regurgitating (ie today and once before). Today was approximately ~3 days after feeding. And has now lost a noticable amount of weight (within the last week). Recently I moved slightly (last week) that may explain the regurge. Also, the strike and regurge may have something to do with switching to slightly larger mice, but are now fully furred.

I am not sure what to do. She is quite small and thin enough now that I am worried waiting a few weeks to feed is not plausible. I am looking for opinions on what should be done other than a vet visit?

Thanks,
Zeus
