Has she been with a male?
How old is she?
Can you see eggs in her, when lying down you should be able to see the shapes of eggs on her sides..?

I am thinking she may be going through a late burmation, due to the weird weather we have been having of late.
When my females were pregnant, they were not slow and sleeping all the time. They were very active and kept digging all over the place, and once I put in the laybox, she would spend most of her time digging in there. She would however still eat and interact pretty much as normal.

Brumation is a type of 'hibernation' but they don't go to sleep fully, they are still awake, but just. Food intake would slow down, as they are not burning any energy etc.

Ours was doing that, I put a large, OK very large, tub nearly full of a sand Vermiculite mix ( Not vermicelli that melts and makes a large mess ) with a hole started and eventually she laid a few eggs, well 25 in all.

First hatched last night. Most were duff but a few still to hatch with any luck.
