Concerned about weight and 1 year old refusing to eat

Got Ghosts?
Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I was cleaning snake tubs today and pulled out Caley my one year old or close to that female and noticed that she was looking a little chubby. Her scales are separated from one another. she got a fuzzy on tuesday. I weighed her this morning and she weighed 47g, her last weight was 37g and that was on July 9th. She has been getting fed every 5 days but I think she is going to skip a meal and get fed once a week. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help her get back down in weight. Caley at the moment is in a large rubbermaid tub taking a swim :)

Also I have a one year old female who has all of the sudden stopped eating. She has always been on frozen thawed without a problem. She took a fuzzy just fine on July 7th but since then has refused food. I have tried leaving it in there with her over night, putting her in a dark quite place, giving her live and even braining one. But no matter what she refuses. I am going to try giving her a rat pup on monday and see if that will get her to eat. Is there anything else I can do to get her to eat. Her last weight was 49g and her weight this morning is 42g so she really hasn't lost much weight and I am wondering if she just isnt hungry.

Here are some pictures of Caley

Try the girl who is on strike on smaller food. Sailor Sam (2009) doesn't like food with fur at all at the moment! I am doing double & triple pinks and he gobbles those up very happily and they make a decent meal for him. I am going to try a pink scented rat pink next as they are larger.
 
Betsy the only problem with her is that she was eating fuzzies just fine but has suddenly decided she wants nothing to do with them anymore lol. She won't even take a pinky. I am hoping that she will take a rat pup on Monday.
