Worried about Miriam :-(

Guys... I'm worried about little Miriam. She is just so... sluggish lately. She ate two small guppies over the weekend, but only because I dangled them in front of her. She doesn't hunt anymore... she was the one who used to only eat live fish out of the water, and would hunt them like crazy. She doesn't bother now. She was in this spot when I left this morning, and she's still there tonite. She's so tiny... does she look thin to you guys? Can you tell from this pic? She just seems... lethargic. She does nto eat regularly, but I think the longest she's ever gone is 3 weeks and that's been a few months.

Could she just be slow for the winter?? She wasn't interested in eating this morning, but hopefully by the weekend I can get a couple minnows into her.

She just worries me... she used to be rpetty skittish and lately she doesn't even run when I reach in the tank. I don't handle her, I just mean when I reach in to feed or change water.
