I had this problem with my male after he went through a lot of stress. He was attacked by a cage mate and had to be on all sorts of fluids and antibiotics for months. But anyway, I had to force feed him for a good while. I think it is just called repti-aid, you can get it at petco/petsmart whatever. It is about 10 dollars. It comes with a syringe and powder which you mix with water and feed i you your leo. I recommend a vet visit asap, she could have parasites or some other type of illness. If you can't get The repti-aid stuff then get a pair of tweezers and hand feed her the meal worms, I crunch the head first then get one by the tweezers and use their back ends to lightly push on the side of the leo's mouth. It works pretty well, but I would definatly say she needs to be put on fluids to restore her health. I hope she does okay!

If it hasn't eaten in that long take it to a vet now and make sure you have the right temperature in the tank. What are you feeding it?
