Three weeks is not very long at all.

If she's losing weight after 3 weeks, maybe there is a problem? How much weight has she lost?

How old is she?

Have the temps changed in her viv or the room you keep her in?

Do you have a picture?

hiya lee hows it going 3weeks isnt that long but u said she s losing weight already? does she look well in her self

Sorry to repeat but if she's lost weight in such a short time there may well be an underlying problem. Some of mine have fasted for more than 3 months without losing an ounce. What was her original weight and what is she now?

Must agree with all the above 3 weeks in not long at all and shouldnt really lose weight so maybe there is another problem

Don't forget the time of year - many corns will be trying to self-brumate as it is natural for them to do so. They will stop feeding and refuse to do so all winter.

I would get a fecal sample done if she is losing weight that quick, have you weighed her or just going by eye?

[leenjan]

dont really weigh her just go by eye she slimmed down a lot since ive had her but will check her weight tomorrow
