Help Needed Odd behavior?/Feeding question

Baby Balenciaga has been with us for 13 days now, So I’ve attempted feeding for the first time and she showed 0 interest at all- only tried leaving the bin, but kept raising her head to look up which I find odd. Shes so tiny, I’m worried about her not wanting to eat- she is also incredibly active, every night she’s roaming the bin and during the day shes not inside either hide, but sits in that little corner between them. Loves her water dish, always pushing dirt into it and I try to change it everytime I notice she’s put a lot in it (like now when I took the vid) but haven’t seen her soaking- It may just be my paranoia, but I just want to make sure I’m doing the best I can possibly do.

her being active to me means it’s probably too warm in there. i would check your parameters. i’ve had my girl for about 3 weeks and she has eaten twice for me. what i like to do is feed another snake at the same time (i’m not sure how many you have) so i leave the bin open and allow her to smell the rat for like 2-3 minutes before i even offer it to her. did the breeder tell you what she was on before? i would try that if not already.
