they're all 10 months old, but one of my female's, yoshi hasn't eaten in three days! i'm really worried! can someone help me figure out if something is wrong or if she just has infertile eggs?! :( all the other 3 eat perfectly fine.

Need more info but one point to make is make sure you are not feeding your gecko wax worms everyday because they can get addicted to them and they ate fatty too. I usually give them as a treat

your hot side is a little too cool. try to get the temps up near the 95 degree mark on top of the substrate. if the reptile carpet is insulating too much, switch to paper towels or tiles. also, i agree on the wax worms. they should only be offered as treats. geckos can get addicted to them. i would put a bowl of mealies in her enclosure and give her some time. 3 days not eating is not going to hurt her. during the winter i feed my leos every 4 days.
