    I tried all the ideas she will not eat anything I even tried just eggs and turkey. So she has probably eaten since Friday two tablespoons in total of food. :( don't know if I should be really concerned yet? She did pee on her basking rock I don't know if she pooped it is so hard to find in the much. Any other ideas on how to get her to eat is welcome.
    Here are some pics of her belly i don't know why it looks so full since she has not eaten

    Maybe she didn't bask enough to get her metabolism going. When they metabolism is low the food doesn't get digested very fast and she will not be hungry. What are the basking temps on ? If you want to you can get a fresh salmon filet, cut it up into bite size pieces and warm it up in some warm tap water. Sometimes it helps to give them strong smelling food. I'm glad she is calming down for you. You can also give her a luke warm bath. This will relax the muscles and help her poop. After she poops she might be more hungry than now.

    My basking temp is 105 when I raised it she would not bask. I tried the salmon she has no interest I will try again today. I have picked up unrated. The only thing she will eat is maybe a tablespoon of turkey. I reall appreciate everyone's help.

    Your welcome. I'm sorry the other things you tried didn't work.

    Lol. Thank God for dogs. I hope she will eat it. I'm sorry, I forgot to mention this before. If you want to you can try to give her some of this carnivore diet. I used it before and I love it.

    I will check it out. she just completely ignores any other food. Offer. I have a feeling she was only fed turkey seems crazy she would reject a mouse. She ate about a tablespoon yesterday I give in and give her turkey should I hold out and not give her turkey or is it more important she eats? She did a very small poop yesterday.
