My Hermann’s is young and I change her substrate every 2 months and spot clean daily. After her soap today I saw her eating her poop!? I must have missed it but I am scared! Can she get sick from this and doesn’t this cause salmonella??

No, they do that if they have the opportunity. They will eat dog poop too if they come across it. Dog poop could be bad if the dog is on any medication. Their own poop there is no danger but not something you want to be a common thing.
