Yeah this is a pretty common occurrance with desert igs. There was a guy on this forum-John Styner whos desert igs become more less inactive for 18 months-ate very little and slept alot. I have heard of this many times. Have you had her checked for parasites etc. If she looks healthy I would not worry too much. I have also heard of these guys getting addicted to bugs and not taking vege matter. What you might want to try is to when the little guy is sleeping just turn off all the lights and keep the enclosure at room temp for a coupe weeks. Also try to keep it dark. Sometimes that short brumation will spur them to become active again. There are so many different scenarios that this could be. I have a guy mailing me now with the exact same problem. Still so much we don't know about these guys.
