My Royals eating habits (not the usual 'why won't my Royal eat' post)

As usual, my Royal wouldn't eat last night. She's not eaten for 3 weeks but that's because she started to shed when she was last due to be fed and I've left her alone until she had shed. She shed on the weekend and I left her a couple of days to get active again. Feeding time come and she just couldn't be bothered. I've noticed since about Christmas, that every time she sheds, it takes a good couple of weeks and a few different prey items until she feeds again. There's no trend in what particular prey gets her to start feeding again. The only thing that is the same is she takes ages to feed after shedding.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not worried about her not eating as she's gone months before on hunger strikes. I just have no idea why she goes off her food every time she has shed.
