No, not from the UV (or lack of).
How are you heating that cage, heat pad underneath?

not eating for a few weeks isn't a huge problem but some ideas if the temps are correct as previously stated and she continues to not eat,
1. try both mice and rats
1. try scenting with chicken or quail, can be just as simple as a feather sometimes
1. try quails

antaresia are notorious for going off their food for no apparent reason and after a while resume feeding. If it's only been two weeks since it fed, I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep offering food and see what happens.
