Weightloss in short period of time

[FinishingFlight]

Ian of Oldham - Since getting her, she has only been handled once for weighing and otherwise still left alone. So not sure. She has been offered food day and night, left with it, wiggled in front of her, pushed her nose against it (thats a heck no). I'm getting close to wanting to try scented, or getting another live.

Andy - I'm glad to hear that it doesn't sound super concerning. I am seriously considering just putting her in a tub. Possibly the male too. He is doing better but still isn't eating as I would like him to. Their temps are around 90-94 on the hot side and the cool side is around 75* during the day time. At night I turn everything off and it drops to 70* on both sides. Should I maybe get an under tank and just heat consistently?

Yes. Night time drops will cause feeding issues. Consistent heat is key. If you're able to get the cool side/ambient up a few degrees, that would also help.
