They will stop eating when they are getting ready to lay, but it could be just that she is getting older and doesn't need food every day anymore.
The most important questions are - How old is she? And what foods has she been offered?
If she's being stubborn because she wants her favourite food only, that could be another reason she's not eating much........

It's about a 6 month old female. She actually just stopped growing about 3-4 weeks ago. She has been offered crickets and meal worms. Usually likes both.

Do you have a laying bin set up? - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/jannb/345-egg-laying-laying-bin.html
My girl didn't want to cut back on food until now, just over a year old. How much exactly has she eaten the last few days? Maybe a bit of variety would help her appetite if she's only been getting crickets and mealworms, but usually the females aren't so picky......
