New female not eating

I am posting this here hoping for better results.

I have recently purchased a few geckos, and for the most part they are doing well. I have one female that I am a little concerned about. I got her on the 11th at the NARBC show off the HISS table. She looked healthy and weighed a little over 31g. She hatched on 8-8-11 and she is nice and thick.

At first I figured it was just the relocation that stopped the feeding. She has not paid any attention to anything I have tried to feed her in the past week. The others are feeding like champs. I have her in her Rubbermaid with a hide, wet hide, short water dish, and a dish with a few mealworms. The enclosure sits around 85 on the warm side and 78 on the cool. She has been in the wet hide for the majority of the time. I have also tried crickets and dubias of all different sizes and still nothing! She also seems to be a little lethargic. I know some LGs don't move a lot throughout the day. She is not really moving much at all, and I am up at all different hours through the night and home off and on through the day and never see her move.

I know geckos can go a while without eating but when should I really become concerned. I would love any advice y'all may have. Thank you

I got worried about one of mine recently but found on google that at times they fast for up to a month! Apprently it rarely happens though...

Hows her tail? I wouldnt really start worrying until her tail starts to thin...

Also try feeding locusts? Its all mine will eat! Took a while to find something they would eat and now will eat anything up to 6 a day!

Hope th is helps :thumbup:
