Answer
OK, this isn't Thea but I'll give it a shot.  I used to bred leopards many years ago and I do not remember pregnant females going off food for any length of time.  Sometimes they got picky about what they wanted (imagine that...) but stopping all together is not normal as far as I know.  Unless perhaps she is very close to laying.  Gently pick her up and examine her belly, you can usually see the eggs developing and if she's close her belly will be very swollen.  If you can't see any development she may not be pregnant in which case a trip to the vet might be needed.  Hope this helps, BPC
