What substrate are you using?

Have you checked the humidity in the room? Central heating can dry the air out which in turn dries skin out. Aim for the humidity to be about 50%.
I wouldn't say she was stressed nor did I see her bump herself.

She has Kaytee bedding and it's always been either that or Carefresh.

Humidity idk I don't have a way of measuring it. That may be something to look at since the central heating is on.

My main concern at the moment is how many of these bleeds she can have without getting really poorly.
