Hi, I have a two year old female rosy who has essentially never missed a meal until last week when she killed and then ignored her food. This week she was completely uninterested in her live mouse. Her tank is set up with a hot side (no hotter than 90) and cool side. She has aspen substrate and cave to hide in. The one change to her living condition is the introduction of a younger male rosy about three months ago. I have no idea if they have bred and have no idea how to tell if she is gravid (forgive me for sounding uninformed). So here are my questions: Could the new tank mate stress her out enough to not eat? If she's gravid, how do you tell? And I guess my third question is this: Am I missing something? Thanks.
