Gecko not eating!

My 11-month old female leo, Nadia, hasn't been eating for the past couple weeks. I figured it was because I moved her and her tank mate from their 10 gallon to a 20 gallon tank. I thought she was just adjusting so I didn't think anything of her lack of appetite. But now that I'm starting to notice a visual difference, I'm getting a little worried. Her tail is not as fat and when she turns to the side I can see her ribs. What should I do?

I do have a male, but I haven't bred them yet. He's been separate so far becuase he's only 5 months old(but he's huge!). Do you think that it's just the stress of a new and bigger tank?
I fed her and her tankmate(another female) superworms a couple of weeks ago to see if they liked them better than the mealworms. She lost her appetite about the same time I switched back to mealworms. Could she just be refusing the mealworms because she prefers the supers?
