Her enclosure is tube shaped so turning it on its side isn't really an option but I plan on getting an aquarium with screen on top and putting her in there at the vets recommendation.
I am prepared but she's a fighter and the vet and I are confident that with immediate and strong intervention, she'll pull through! Thank you for the advice though!
I'll definitely give that a look! The vet gave me some Gluco calcium, metacam, and emeraid critical care nutrition to get her going seeing as how she hasn't been eating. I have to build a horizontal enclosure because she can't risk a fall at this point too
I've only had her for about a month. I noticed she had been behaving strangely shortly after getting her and thought she was gravid (staying on the bottom of the cage, not eating much, etc.) so I built her several laying dens and waited. After a while, it became clear that that wasn't the case...

I took Artemis to the vet today because of some behavioral issues she's been having - sleeping during the day, not eating, not moving much, etc. I figured she was egg bound...
I was wrong and it was so much worse. X-rays showed clear signs...
