My female leopard gecko doesn't seem to be eating as much as before and It's starting to make me worry. Back then (Before when she ate normally), she would easily eat about 3-5 superworms a week. Now the last time she ate a superworm was about 8 days ago and before those 8 days ago the last time she ate one from there was 10 days ago. Her tail is getting a bit skinny (It's still decently fat but in comparison from before she has lost a lot of fat in her tail, almost twice as much) and she might not be drinking that much either. 2 days ago I saw that there was a yellow urate (which from what I read means she's dehydrated) and I'm not sure if either she's pooping wherever she wants instead of pooping in her usual corner or if she's pushing the poop accidentally all over the tank. She's about a year and a half old with her future mate at 8 months old (Yes, they do get along well, I have never seen them fight or any other signs of aggression toward each other) I also feed them with my hand, I don't usually put the worms in the bowl, since they're used to hand-feeding. Whenever I give her a worm she just looks at it for a second and just doesn't get interested. Both on my hand and the bowl. Sometimes when I put it in the bowl both of them get way more interested but the female still doesn't want. Is there something I should be concerned about? This is the first time she's ever gone without eating food, at least for this long. I know she can't be gravid because the male isn't old enough (And even if he was, I've never seen him mate) her body isn't fat either and I don't see any eggs in her.
P.S Sorry if I posted in the wrong subtopic, I was worried and I just wanted to post quick.
