Try giving her a warm bath, massage her tummy from mid abdomen to vent. She may be bloated from constipation or maybe even an impaction. Is it possible that maybe you don't know when the last time was that she defected? She is not gravid. Its best that you separate her from the others as she may not be able to bask at a temp where she can digest her food properly due to the crowded conditions. Please do consider getting her to a vet if she does not defecate in the next couplea days and bloating subsides. You DO NOT have to take her in for a fecal analysis ....just the colored part put in a ziplock baggie and taken to the vets to determine if parasites are the problem. My vet charges $4 for fecal floats. Call around...average price is $15 for fecal float. Please TRY and take care of them until you sell/place them.
