Unhappy sunken eyes

Hi everyone,
I just wondered if my little Athena could be dehydrated only her eyes look a bit sunken and I have noticed her skin peeling. She has access to fresh water at all times and has 2 baths a week. She's very active demolishing her enclosure every day and is eating, urinating and pooing normally. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

If she is active, eating, pooing, peeing and has access to water, than she isn't likely dehydrated. Peeling skin is normal.

Thank you very much I just worry about her so much as I unfortunately lost her sister at xmas time to pneumonia she'd been fighting for 6 months bless her but couldn't manage it in the end. I was devastated, still am and so any little thing and I panic!
