Gecko hasn't eaten in a week

Ok, she is not losing weight, still has a fat tail, she is quite active, wants to climb out, likes being handled.

But she hasn't eaten in a week, that is the problem. I'm a bit worried. Even though she is not eating, she still poops and poops seems normal.

So what could it be?

Her enclosure hasn't changed in half a year, so that isn't the problem. Temperatures are also ok, I've got heating under the tank.

I only feed her crickets and she also has calcium dish and water bowl inside. So is that a normal that she gets off food for a bit, or should I be worried?
Also I was thinking of getting mealworms just to change the diet maybe.

Its good to add variety in their diet. Dont worry about leopard geckos not eating unless they start to lose weight.

Ok, she is very active and looks ok. Still hasn't eaten. From what I read it is probably ovulation. She weighs 69g, and doesn't seem to be losing any weight.
She is around 10 months old also. I tried using mealworms, but she still doesn't want to eat them.
Other than that, she is acting ok, wants to come out of her enclosure and being handled.
Should I be concerned?

Maybe I was too worried, she ate yesterday, I didn't want to overfeed her, so I just gave a few crickets, to start slow

Ok so she started eating normally, she just doesn't want to eat mealworms (she never had them before), so crickets all the way
