The past week or so she has been off her food. down from eating ten or so crickets a day to maybe four a day. she has access to a laying bin, but I don't think she looks gravid. She has not gotten any skinnies. she is still pooping and her urate is white, so she is drinking. she should be shedding soon, bassed on her appearance and the time since her last shed. but she's never gone off her feed before a shed before. real worried. any ideas anyone?
