Agreed. She was probably in pre-hibernation mode from being outside so late in the year. If you keep her warm and at the right daylight hours all year, she may not slow down this winter (14 hours of light over the tank).

I would avoid raw meat, for the same reason we avoid it, especially raw ground beef. If you don't feed her for a couple of days, she might go for the greens. Try Romaine lettuce first. Gut-loaded crickets are good treat, too.
