Re: RI in new CRB..help?
unfortunately no...even with daily baths, humidity at 85% and temps where they should be, it came off in 2 big pieces with a few tiny scraps here and there...she also has a small piece stuck to the end of her nose which she has been working off for the last half hour...she just dipped her face into her water dish so hopefully it will come off for her now...

I imagine given her previous care, that she has never had a good shed, and is lucky to not have serious health issues because of it. keep an eye on that bit on her nose, is it covering her nostrils at all?
i'd probly try and bump the humidity up even higher for her next shed, 95%, plus humid hide, but i'm betting two big pieces is the best shed she's ever had

Re: RI in new CRB..help?
between her and I we got it off her nose..it was impairing her breathing so I had to assist...but after that ordeal, she hammed it up for me (i got over 150 photos and a few videos of her, lol) but here is my FAVORITE!! her eyes are actually visible now that she is hydrated and healthier!!

Re: RI in new CRB..help?
thank you! got a digital thermometer to monitor her warm side, thermostat should be here any day (had to wait till payday, vet visit, heat mat, substrate, plexiglass for the lid, etc tapped me till payday) but everything seems to be settling down...now to just get her to finally eat...

Re: RI in new CRB..help?
she still hasn't eaten for me  refused again tonight...the pet store fed her in a separate feeding tub, so I may go out after work tomorrow and get a tub big enough for her to fit in and try that way...planned on going tonight but we ended up getting a winter storm which closed most of the roads...accidents everywhere...i was scared driving my 1/2 mile drive home from work, let alone go to walmart...

I hope she eats for you soon! Good luck! Mine has a great appetite, I'm sure yours will be the same soon .

Re: RI in new CRB..help?
she may well be conditioned to eating in a tub...rather than taking her out to eat in a tub, i'd suggest putting a tub in her enclosure, and leave her food inside, see if that works, this will at least be a step towards getting her to eat in her enclosure, which is better for her in the long term imo
dont need to go and buy one, and old (extra large) ice-cream tub, or any kind of plastic box should do the trick

Re: RI in new CRB..help?
her "hide" is actually a black plastic wash basin flipped upside down with a hole cut in the side, that didn't work the mouse went into her hide and she left it and stayed on the cool side all night and most of the day, even tho I only left the mouse in there for about 20 minutes...

yeah I dont think putting it in her hide would work - does she have a cool hide aswell? sounds like she doesnt?
is she very active? my CRB is very active when she's hungry, prowls about her enclosure allot
was she being fed mice before? or rats? could be she doesnt like the smell
if she was on mice, i'd try a few more times at 7 day intervals, if she misses a few more feeds then try things like braining the mouse, etc, might get her a bit more excited with the smell
I tend to use tongs to move the food around for my CRB, she's never that interested in food just left for her to find, but if I move it past her nose (when its sticking out of her hide), and twitch it about, and get it to ''run'', she usually strikes hard and fast when it starts to move away from her
