Smile Crestie dropping weight

Bought a new crestie 2 weeks ago.

Weight 46g, now dropped to 40g, 2 years old.

She has been a bit nervy since moving into her new viv, not seen her eat, but she's pooping.

Offered clarkes with fruit, locusts & mealies.

Should I be worried ?

I am putting it down to be moved (with her old owner since Hamm, 2009)

Any advise welcome.

Dash was 20g, spike 20g & still are.
Peep 20g, now 22g & amber 8g, now 9g.

Two things jump to my mind first: 1) stress & settling in, or 2) she laid egg/s. If you find no egg/s, give her a few more days to settle in...so do take longer than others when moving into a new environment.

Eggs, possible.

She was with a breeding group when purchased & she was digging in the substrate when she first arrived.

Will have to explore there I think.

At first I did think she was hiding, as she was putting her head under the soil, but I did look it up & it seems they can/will do that when egg laying.

Cheers
