How long since she ate?

How long since she shed?

How much does she weigh?

Has she lost any weight?

How often are you offering food?

She ate 5 days ago (2x rat pups)
She last shed 1 month ago (no signs of next shed)
She weighs 186g
She hasnt lost any weight
Im offering every 5-6 days

The thing that bugs me is if i get a rat pup out for tomorrow she will eat it , but not rat fluffs unless any of the above answers can tell anything

p.s. im leaving the rat fluff in tank overnight tonight just in case

I wouldn't offer more often than every 5 days, don't get the pup out, just try again next week with a fluff. It could be that a shed is on the way too.
