A few concerns

Hi guys, I'm back. Haven't been on in a while!

I have a few concerns concerning my BP, Tammy.

She about 5-6 months old now. And I've not had any issues with her at all up until about 6-7 weeks ago.

First thing I noticed was her left eye. It looks like there is a small indentation there. It doesn't go away after shedding, so I'm wondering whether it is self-inflicted from a fall or knocking it against something.

I initially thought it may be dehydration, but after trying the wet pillowcase, larger waterbowl and regular bath ideas it didn't clear up. It is also not mites. Her right eye looks perfectly fine, clear, everything.

The second issue is feeding. She hasn't fed in about 6 or 7 weeks and hadn't poo'ed or shed in that time either.

Now, at the 3 month point, I switched from F/T mice to F/T rats. She took them fine. Now she won't. I've wasted 8 rats trying this.

Maybe time to go back to mice or try another approach?

Temps and humidity are fine. I've tried to keep things consistent the whole time I've had her.

Any input appreciated. Need to hear from somebody with more experience than I.
