she is blotchy, but the shine is a result of the light and her skin is no tighter than normal- sorry about the picture quality, it was the fastest way to get one up, but i'll see if i can get better tomorrow. Thank you for your quick response. She is isolated as i mentioned before, but i wonder if i should remove her normal bedding from her temporary home and place paper towels in instead (see the fibers on her skin). Also, i'm a little unsure about how often i should force her to eat, im thinking a small amount every other day until she returns to her normal size.
