Im so lost and so stressed. I've made so many posts like this but im trying again. I really dont know what to do and its making me feel evil:")

Since before Christmas now, my snail (fulica) has barely eaten at all and barely moves. She is about 3. She also retracts. Near Christmas time she sealed up, i assumed it was just a temp/humidity issue, since she broke the seal and came out after i made it a bit warmer, but she is still inactive. Nothing had changed in her enclosure etc. I don't use sprays or anything either. I then started making slight changes after a while (a bit warmer, a bit dryer, etc) , no result from any. I gave her a bee pollen bath after I noticed these changes but that didnt make a difference.

She DOES react to stimuli, she will be retracted but start coming out if you hold or move her. She had egg for protein a few days ago (last pic is her afterwords) though she barely had much and it was the first time i managed to get her to eat protein in a long time. I keep expecting to find her dead, yet everytime I pick her up to check, a few moments later she is up and poking her head around. I would say that she seems happier outside of her enclosure but at the same time she still doesn't move all that much. But atleast she acknowledges food. And moves. I know snails are slow but it does feel like there's an actual issue

I have been keeping up with food and offering protein even though she doesn't really eat it. Im constantly checking the temperature. I even recently moved her to a different home in a desperate attempt to see if she would perk up from a less moist environment because I wondered if maybe it had gotten too boggy or even acidic in her last enclosure? (I didnt get rid of all her old soil, she still has some mixed with the new) I don't know. Im just so lost and feel like im failing this animal so hard and its kinda devastating me alot. I got told by alot of people that its most likely not age related too? I thought maybe some sort of mouth prolapse and that's why she isn't eating, but from what I saw her mouth is still as normal and cute as ever :(

Her temperature right now is 23⁰. Used to be 24⁰ but i lowered it to see if maybe she wanted it cooler. Like I said, im getting desperate and running out of ideas. Her humidity is 70-80%, stupid thing is never 100% accurate

If anyone has any advice or insight PLEASE share. I feel like im losing my mind over here, I hate feeling like i could be doing more

I got her years ago and thought she was fake but just discovered apparently in Europe this fluttershy was just made paler. Anyways, she has sort of white marks?? I can't tell if it's just weird fading or if there's an actual issue - this fluttershy seems to me made of a weird plastic compared to others. Hopefully the camera picks it up. She kinda looks like cheese that is going moldy to me and its making me feel 😵‍💫😵‍💫. I gave her a bath to try and see if i could tell better but I still can't
