Still not eating

No comments :
Wednesdays and Sundays being her normal feeding days, the last wednesday (10/22/14) and yesterday (10/26/14) she hasn't eaten. She was offered food last Thursday as well just in case. This morning the mouse was still there, I'm not particularly worried, but in all honesty I'd prefer if she ate. She looks like she's in shed, washed out colors, blue/grayed over eyes, etc. The moist hide over the heat mat is where she's spending all of her time now, by her choice. And when I've taken her out, yesterday for instance, she was warm and active, so that's a good sign. With the clouded eye caps though came the nervousness that is to be expected with not being able to see. But to her credit, she hasn't bitten or even threatened to bite, so I know she has a good disposition, not the easiest thing to find in general. It makes me want to make sure she's ok and going to keep remaining ok for as long as she lives.
