Retry-Do you think it will work?

Hi guys,
I was posting often a couple of months ago about how my Amel just wouldn't eat. I was convinced that she felt like she needed to brumate. As she was brumating I went out and bought another heat fixture to raise the temperature of the cool side to 70-72 constantly. Before it would be about 65 at night. Do you think this could fix the problem? If she doesn't eat this Tues. I was looking at a product called Jump-Start by Zilla. Will ths be ok to use? Some people swear it works. Would you say it's worth a try?

Have you taken her to the vet yet? if so what dose the vet say? I would think after this much time something must be wrong.

She's not been to the vet yet because she hasnt stopped eating all together , her feedings have just been unstable. She ate 3 times after Oct. I've said before that I believe it was my fault because I hooked the UTH up wrong. I think this gave her a bad start to the winter which is what messed her up a little bit. The vet would be my last resort. I'm not trying to sound like a bad owner, but I know my vet wont be able to do that much. For an hour drive and 80$ just to visit, she seems very inexperienced.
