Gaining weight but not eating?

My female leo was super skinny when I first bought her at an expo. I've been feeding her dubias and superworms everyday. She gained weight but now isn't eating. She still is gaining weight though. She was 43 grams when she stopped eating but now weighs 55 grams. She is not ovulating or gravid, so I don't know what else could be wrong. She seems to be healthy and happy. Any Ideas?

she could be burmating at the moment which would explain the lack of eating.
i wouldnt be too worried about her not eating for a few days. her tail is on the slim side, but she looks healthy enough but keep a good eye on her weight, if she starts to lose weight take her to a vet to be checked over.

it would be healthier to just leave the temps as they are and let brumation continue rather then bringing her out now. she is very pretty :)

Just keep an eye on her. If her behaviour is normal then you don;t have to be worry. Beside I think this weight is ok with her.
