Hello & welcome to the forum.

Yes it is perfectly normal for T's to stop eating. Normally they stop eating when they are pre molt. But some T's will stop eating for no apparent reason & larger T's can go months without eating.

Welcome to the forum,
Please keep in mind that it is difficult for people to help with your concerns/questions without seeing pictures of your T and it’s enclosure.
Thank you.

Welcome!! Your T may be in premolt, or just getting used to her new enclosure. Make sure you keep a small water dish with water for her and see if she molts, or eventually eats. Don't leave live food in the enclosure if you think your T is in premolt. They can stress, damage, and even kill your T when molting.

If you post a few pics, We all might be able to help a little more.

Best of luck!
