My Mali female was living happily with her boyfriend. He started running her out of the hide and the food. She is now in her own place but she is refusing to eat. She will drink a little water out of a dish but that is about it.....any ideas or suggestions
Thanks

victim of aggression, moved to new place, not eating...I am thinking stress.
drinking water...I am thinking parasites.
I am assuming these are the same mali's as before,so I am betting against the possibility she is gravid.

Yes these are the same ones. I had separated them out by size and there was no problem until last Friday when I saw him run her out of the food bowl. I moved her to her own digs with a new hide. She will not use the hide, temps are good 119 and 81. Her poop had been formed and dark the same as the boys'. She did over indulge on a treat bowl of mixed fruits and had a little runny poop before I moved her. She just had a bm a second ago and it was small green and slimey. She is refusing water. I spoke to Doug Dix before and he said to try encouraging them to eat with a couple of crickets....she will run after them and munch them down but no greens or dry. I will try soaking the beans.
