Your female MAY be with eggs. They will typically eat a lot with the beginning of gestation. Your male MAY be in heat. It seems odd that 1/3 of body weight was lost in a week??????? An otherwise healthy Ig can go for 2-3 weeks without serious effects. One thing to watch for is tail size, if they start losing tail weight you need to act. About a week is usually as long as mine normally go without eating at all. But during some months they only eat a few bits a day. Again, the tail is the indicater that they have gone too long. Good luck, Happy Iging
