Crocodile Skinks won't eat?

Hello, I have a pair of crocodile skinks, which I have had for almost two years now. Up until now they have been doing fine, they prefer to hide, but I do see them moving around, they love to dig new burrows and there tank is always changing, even though I never actually see them doing it, lol, and they have always eaten well (at least, the crickets disappear anyways, recently it seems that the crickets have stopped disappearing, and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas, advice, as it seems they are not eating almost at all. Now, to start, the tank is plenty warm, and the same temperature that it has ALWAYS been when they were happy and healthy, and I keep them plenty moist (damp / wet soil and mist them twice a day, plus they have a large swimming bowl in a 20 gallon tank) again, this is as it has always been. I don't even like to hope that they could possibly be mating..... when I purchased them from the reptile expo I was told their are a pair, but no garentees ever with these things, and the female was very small then (they are now both full grown). Is it common for them to stop / reduce eating when they are mating? I know it can be with a lot of animals, but if not what else could be wrong with them? Any advice would be great, I have become very attached to the pretty little guys (p.s. I don't handle them unless they have to be moved, I am content just to watch them, so I don't think it's stress?)
