Can you tell if she's ovulating? You should be able to see a pink spot in her belly if she is. You can search for ovulation photos if you need more explanation on what to look for.

All female geckos ovulate. (This basically means that unfertilized eggs are starting to form.) Every female is different some start and then stop ovulating in a matter of a few weeks, some take a few months. But eventually it will stop. It's very common for a female's appetite to decrease during ovulation.

Yes you just wait until she is done ovulating but still offer food,if she doesn't eat but doesn't lose weight it is ok but if they do lose weight take her to the vet.

Just make sure she has plenty of Calcium available at all times and wait for it to stop. Offering different types of feeders periodically can help to get them to eat something but it is common for them to lose a couple of grams during this time. If there is a drastic weight loss she may need to be checked by a vet because there could be another issue going on but in your photo she appears very healthy so hopefully you'll both get though her first ovulation quickly!
