Weightloss in short period of time
So as I had posted before I have recently obtained a pair of Axanthics about a month ago. I've been struggling a bit with getting them to eat for me since I got them. The female has me concerned. For about 3 weeks of not eating she seems to have lost weight way too fast. My normal female went on a hunger strike of 4 months and didn't loose weight this quickly.
When I first brought them home the female had eaten the day before and weighed 72g. She ate one F/T fuzzy from me four days after, and then refused food for 3 weeks.
She was overly stressed by my presence, or even the food presence. So I offered food only once a week, tried braining, scenting, live pulling water a few days before and so on.
Finally last week she took a pinky after leaving it in there with her, and then took a F/T fuzzy, also after leaving it in there. Noticing her body looking leaner I took her out three days after feeding and weighed her, she was only 62g.
Is a 10g difference over a month something I should be concerned about? She is about the same length as my other female (maybe 1" shorter), but she weighs 20g lighter.
I tried my best to get pictures, does she look skinny? Is this something I should be contacting a vet for? Or giving her more time?
