Hello, its been a while since Ive posted here.
Godzilla has been doing pretty good. She still loves to explore and spends most of her days poking around.
Very recently I randomly just happend to take a close look at her tail, and and noticed that the second half of her tail is no longer round... From about mid tail to the tip, its taken on this almost oval or hourglass-ish shape.

Its hard to show with the camera, so I tried to draw a picture to show the shape. Its kind of like a squished oval, with a very small indent in each side.

I dont know what this could be. It almost seems like the signs of emaciation, but she eats and drinks, and the rest of her looks perfectly fine. She usually has a very fat looking tummy.
She has been a little difficult the past few months about food. She has started to refuse her fruits and vegetables, in favor for foods she likes better like fish and mice. During meal time she will come over, inspect her meal, see that its kiwi, and then turn away since its not fish/mice/chicken stuff. What I would do is just try again the next day, until she got hungry enough and eventually would eat the fruit. It sometimes might take a week to do so. But she does eventualy eat it. And she has no problem gobbling down everything else, so when Im not forcing her to eat her fruits/veggies she eats several mice/fish/etc a week.
I usually alternate her meals. Give her like 3-4 mice/fish/etc meals (meals she likes). And then 1 veggie/fruit meal (meal she doesnt like). So she ends up eating a bunch one week, and then very little the next week, (or however long it takes to get her to eat her fruits/veggies).
Is this a bad strategy? She is spoiled, and I dont want her to eat just mice and fish, the things she likes best. She needs greens too. But if she doesnt eat them, what can I do other then waiting till she is hungry enough to give in?
What is this tail thing? It looks weird and unhealthy. Is it because I make her wait a week to force her to eat her fruits/veggies? Is she not getting enough food? Or is it something else?
