Answer
Hey Paul,

A couple things to answer for yourself. What is the weather outside like? Is the moisture level up from a couple months ago?

She is around the breeding season. There is a good chance she may not eat for a few more months. This is not going to harm her. They tend to fast when in the breeding season and can do so for a period of up to a year. As long as she is not dramatically losing weight and looking sickly thin, don't worry. What I will suggest is that you continue to offer her food on her regular days.

Hope this helps,
