OK I need help with this one!

I have a one year old leo who hasn't been eating well. I seperated her from the others, disinfected all my cages (just in case), put her on paper towel (so I can change it everyday and check her poop), made sure temp and stuff was right, and have been monitoring every body closely. She has been losing weight in her tail, refusing EVERYTHING, even wax worms, and her poop is runny. I think she has parasites so I'm getting fecals done for her and her tank mates. I started to get worried because of the weight loss and not eating. I threw a small pinkie in her tank to see if she'd go after it. She did, which is good, problem is now she will only eat pinkies. I'm going to get the fecals done this week but I can't keep feeding a bunch of pinkies. Anyone have any ideas? I could really use the help. Thanks in advance!

is she getting enough calcium??? And don't worry about weaning her off the pinkies until her weight is back up to where it should be. See what the vet says.
