Cage Info:
Current Problem - From 2-3 weeks she started to look different. Everytinhg starts when she get in her coup to eat and could not exit from it. We helped her. Few days after that she fall from the branch in the flower pot. Yesterday she fall again. Today she does not want to drink or to eat. We are giving the cricets next to her and she has no interest in them. Before that, every time she poop, she went down to the bottom of the cage. Now she cant go down, or if she is down, can't go to her basking spot. And she poops from the top of the terrarium. Her grip is very weak and very often she fell down with her head down, but somehow she is still catching the branches and we help her to go back to top. We had never such a problems with her for 3 years.
PS:She is sleeping most of the day.
