If so, that's where you start out along with the calcium supplementation. The condition that she's in can be reversed now, thankfully she is not deformed and as you noted she still has jaw strength. Her refusing veggies is just being picky. Do you offer oral hydration ? If not, start using a eyedropper or spray bottle to drip water on her snout. Take her outside in the sun, just set with her in the grass for 30-40 min.+ that can give her a big boost. She's too weak to run away so you don't have to worry about that.

If you get a chance, post some pictures of her so we can see! As AHBD suggested,
taking her outside in the sunshine for awhile daily will greatly help out.
They can get extremely picky with their eating, especially with their greens, etc. I think
she will be able to recover, since you have the proper bulbs & supplementation now.
Let us know how she is doing.
