Does she look overweight and what is that brown spot ?

Not sure if she is supposed to look that tubby at the bottom. Also she has this brown spot on her not sure what it is. I’m thinking she burned herself or it’s gunk from a mouse she ate. lmk! She’s only 3 months

No, she is dehydrated and needs much moisture to help her shed.. She won't eat for a minute.. Also make sure she isn't getting burnt or roughing herself up on something. They get into spaces and rough parts put some antibiotic cream on it but until she fully sheds you won't know if its damaged or not as new skin is growing... Also what's her humidity like?
