Hi Garth,
Our girl Thai used to be addicted to the ink that was on the recycled
office paper that we used for the bottom of the cage.She would sit there for
ages and just eat this paper with the end result that her 'poos' used to be
mostly paper and no 'poo' .We did try to use just plain paper but she became
so cross that we gave in and just let her do it with the inky paper(she had
cancerous tumours many times and as we didn't know how long she had left we
let her do whatever she wanted).Try giving your girl more fresh fruit and
veggies just to kickstart her bowels again (grapes are good for this).Is her
belly abnormally swollen?Maybe a check up at the vets would be a good idea.

You could also try watermelons... Does she seem to be sore on her big belly?
You could also try giving pedialyte... it's water for babies.
