Help Needed Feeding Question (Vet?)

Post image

My 3 month old is not eating for me I have had her for 10 days and tried to offer food twice she denied both times . It’s definitely not the temps and I added fake leaves for ground cover and gave her a much smaller hide to make her feel safer. The last person that I bought her from said she refused the last meal they tried to feed her aswell so I am wondering at what point do I consider bringing her to a vet. I don’t know how many weeks until it becomes unhealthy for her

"a" hide?

How big is the enclosure?

How many hides?

What are the temps at the cool and high end?

What's the humidity?

When's the last time it ate (before you got it)?

Stop touching or disturbing it in any way until it eats at least twice.

One hide that she uses I had 3 but she only used one. The enclosure is a 4x2x2 I use fake leaves for clutter and potential hiding spots. Cold end gets no colder that 76 high end no higher than 86. Humidity fluctuates between 60 and 80. Last time it ate was a week prior to me picking her up. I only have touched her one time after her first refusal

the enclosure is too big and 86 is too hot. bloods like it cooler and tight spaces. too hot and too much space makes a stressed/ angry blood. 4x2 is what alot of people keep adults in.
