If she's not losing weight I wouldn't worry. She might just not feel like eating right now. If she is losing weight then it could be a problem. How long has she not been eating?? Try getting some wax worms or maybe a pinky(if she's big enough).
If she continues to lose weight and she still doesn't eat then I would contact a vet ASAP!! Look at her belly, do you see a big blackish green blotch...this could mean she's impacted. Are you using sand as the sub. A gecko not eating could be caused by alot of different things. Hope this info helps,
