Hi, I really need some quick help... My little Marple (11 month old Hermanns) hasn't been eating for 3 days now and she seems lethargic. She sleeps under her basking light all day and when the light goes off she just stays there. She's never really been very active but lately it's just basically gone down to zero. I soak her every day for 30 minutes in warm water. I thought it might just have been the stress. I've been handling her a a lot because I've been worried. She was eating just fine until 3 days ago. Now she won't even open her eyes when I put her food right in front of her. I feed her different kinds of "salads" like rocket and romaine for example mixed with a dried weeds mix that i soak before feeding. She has a Sand/Soil mix as bedding, but I never feed her on the bedding. She usually eats on slate tiles in a separate box. I've been meaning to change the bedding since I read that it's dangerous, but I've just been too scared to stress her out even more. Now I'm afraid it's too late... I don't know if she's been pooping. I can never really find any poop lying around and she shares her enclosure with another 11 month old Hermanns. I have a vet appointment scheduled for next wednesday, but I'm scared she won't make it. Right now I've put her in her bath with her basking light over her. She's just lying there sleeping as usual... What can I do?
