Is my Leopard gecko unhappy?

[tom12349333]

i have had my leo for about 5 weeks now and shes great! i love her to bits!

she was skittish at first but after a few weeks she lightend up and she loved her food and came to the front of the viv all the time too see me for food or just for a hold. But now she is much less enthusiastic about food and is starting to look misrable. Im not sure how much facial exspression a gecko can have but she just looks sick of her life basically

she is still active at night from what i see i eats around 4 medium crickets a day dusted with a vitamin/calcium (inc. vitamin D3)
she is also about 6 inches long now (estimate from last mesurment)

cud the lack of enthusiasm be because she is growing? becasue ive told theat gecko's slow down with age? and she is deffiantly getting fatter (not too much)

Please help im so worried about her :/

Whats your tank set up like?
Have you got loads of hiding places, plants, rock ledges.. stuff like that.

If everything with setup is OK it may just be winter coming which slows many geckos down a lot.

i have a just over 2 ft viv (homemade) with like 2 rock hides, plant which can act as a hide 2 coconut hides (1 humid), water dish, calcium and meal worm dish and climbing stick

i may have found the problem! i also use a 40watt bulb as i didnt think the tempertaures from the heat matt put out enough heat but what i was measuring was th air temp not the floor temp! so ive switched the bulb off and the floor temp is correct. she is much more active, il update about food when she next eats!
