Just checkin'

Long story short, Peggy has been refusing food lately. She's in a 10-gallon tank with about 2 inches of dirt and a heat pad on the side for warmth. There's also a sheet of plastic on top to keep heat and humidity in. She's still fat and she still looks healthy, but she's slimmed down just a little bit. Is she just refusing food because it's fall/winter, or should I be worried?

If enclosure parameters are correct and stable; it's probably due to Winter. If worried try to get a fecal done to rule out any possible parasites, good luck !

What are the exact climate conditions?

If the husbandry is correct, its sounds like your frog is in the semi winter hibernation metabolism slow down. From my understanding some frogs do this and some don't. Just keep an eye out for weight loss, and meep offering food. I had one frog that did this, while my other frog didn't.
