how long have you had her? is she cb? who was she purchased from? have you tryed feeding her frozen thawed peas? they really like those, even picky eaters. are you absolutely sure she hasn't eaten anything? try counting the pieces when you put them in there and see if theres any less when u remove them. most won't eat infront of you for quite awhile. hope this helps

Sorry to hear that. Its bin about four days now right? I would take her and a fecal to a Vet and find out whats going on inside, She's healthy right now and this is the best time to save her. Ive lost to many animals over the years waiting for the wrong moment good luck.

i think she drank today i looked in and she was over her water bowl moving her mouth as if she had just drank.
i feeling better about her when i posted i was all worked up becuase everyone was asking me about her.
im going to get some frozen peas as soon as possable i completely forgot the other day at the store becuase i went to look at light bulbs.
besides the peas what else could i tempt her with?
hope she poops again soon
LOL is there any other occupation where poop is looked forward to?
i mean thats one of the top ten things involving my reptiles that makes me happy eating and pooping
