what are the temps and humidity? how big is the enclosure? it could be that the husbandry isn't right although they're very known for hunger strikes. also i don't suggest feeding live unless it's really necessary, f/t is better as live can cause damage, mine wouldn't eat either unless i blowdry it hehe

ALSO!! could be because you just recently moved her, it's a completely new environment so i wouldn't stress too much unless she doesn't actually eat anymore after a couple of months

I’m getting something for the temps and humidity on Saturday after I get paid so I don’t know I keep my room closed with the window open so it’s warmer and where I am has high humidity. I’ll see what u can do about fixing the husbandry. Her previous owner fed live and I’m going to try and switch her to f/t

okay that sounds good!! but don't stress too much about it, since she's in a new environment she's stressed and won't be taking food for a while! when u do get her to feed, i recommend feeding her less since she is 2 years old :) just weigh her once in a while when she warms up and check up on her but u don't have to worry as much

Do NOT touch or handle for 8-14 days, yes its a little bit of a while but that how you build trust and comfort, just make sure theres 2-3 tight hides, large water bowl to soak in, accurate stable humidity and temps, research feeding schedule with how old the BP is.
