Hi. I have two female seven-year-old Leopard Geckos that belong to my school(they're at my house right now because of the quarantine). One of them(Darwin) has been eating very little for the past few weeks and has since gotten very thin. Leopard gecko #2(Arcite) started picking on her, so I temporarily separated them. This may sound weird but every time I go to feed them, Darwin becomes captivated with the walls of the tank and looks like she's looking at her own reflection, I haven't been able to get her to eat because of this. She's still doing this, but now it's getting scary because her tail is pretty thin. I've tried feeding her waxworms but she wasn't interested. I've also tried hand feeding her with chicken baby food mixed with some calcium/vitamin powder, and this hasn't worked.
She has an oddly shaped body which she always kind of had, but I've noticed lately that it's a bit lumpy. Also, I keep her on paper towels so this shouldn't be impaction, but she has been on sand in the past. I gave her a warm bath recently and she did this really weird thing where she lifted her back legs and just held them up with her belly on the ground. Was she trying to poop? I would really appreciate some advice because I can't think of anything else to do.
Below are some photos, (mind the awkward hand lol). She's been mistreated for her first five years, so the stubby feet are not from me.
(Oh and also, she had diarrhea the other day after I separated the two, I don't know if that has to do to with any of this or if it's from stress)
