Although it is a little troublesome her being a sling as they do tend to eat more than adults actually. What are you feeding her? Make sure whatever it is is the size of its abdomin, no bigger or they wont eat them. Lathargic is normal, for my ts anyways, ones adult, ones juvanile, they chill around during the day and even at night so long as I have the lights still on, enclosures are in my recroom where I spend my evenings lol. Its winter where I am now and temps are about 60-70 f which I guess slows them down. Id just keep an eye on her, try to feed small food, if not eaten take out within a day and try again within 2 (just my general rule) keep an eye on her and unless her abdomin begins to shrivel or lose excessive hair she should be healthy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Good luck with her!</p></blockquote><p></p>
