Eating question...

So I bought a gecko about 8 weeks ago. It was from a pet store which I don't usually do but she had just arrived and was never put into the cages. Here is how she looked:

She came home, adjusted well and ate voraciously. Here is her current picture taking about 10 minutes ago:

My problem is that about 3 weeks ago she suddenly stopped eating. As you can see she is about to shed again but I'm guessing it is because she has dropped weight not put it on. I've had sick geckos in the past and she doesn't strike me as sick. Is the slowdown in eating just because of age? The temps in her box have been the same and nothing else has really changed.

Thanks for the input.

Shes gained a lot o weight and looks much better.
Is it possible that shes ovulating? I wouldnt start to worry unless she loses any weight.

If your worried you should take her to the vets for a check over and a fecal sample to make sure :)
