Lost of appetite?

My 3yr old female High Yellow, Jaz, has mysteriously lost her appeitite this week. She stoped eating this weekend it really didn't bug me at first because she is healthy, active, and has good weight on her. But now I"m starting to get concerned. I was thinking it could be because I switched their main food item frog crickets to mealworms but when I offered her a cricket today to see if that would do the trick she wouldn't even look at it. Also she usually weighs between 64-65grams but today when I weighd her shes was only 61, not a huge difference but still scared me a little. I've checked the temps and their in their usual range. I've also thought about her being picked on by the other gecko she shared her enclosure with but the problem with that idea is she is actually the dominant of the two and if she wasn't fed seprately from her she would pick on the other gecko. The only other ideas I have are she could have parasites, she could be ovulating, because I've changed her substrate from papertowels to repti-carpet, or I've been feeding her to much and shes just not hungry. Its all odd though because shes active, alert, and acts just like she usually does and doesn't seem any different than she usually is. Any ideas of what could be going on or and I just over reacting?

No help? Its been a full week and shes still not eating and it doesn't look like shes loosing anymore weight and I weighed her at 61 grams again so I think thats her weight when her body is completely devoid of food and fecal matter. I'm still getting nervous as shes usually a very good feeder. Any ideas?
