Not eating? 
What can I offer to tempt her? She hasn’t eaten since we got her. I’m guessing she’s stressed cuz of the move and all, and she was healthy when we got her. I’ve tried fruits, veggies, various bugs ... Is there a certain way to feed her? Like, my beardie wants his food in his bowl, the gecko likes it dropped piece by piece in front of her face, a previous gecko ate everything from my hand ...

The most I’ve gotten out of her is when I gave her pineapple. I tried applesauce, she licked it a -little-. I gave her pineapple and she kept licking it but never actually -ate- it. I’ll keep being patient, how long till I should worry? And is there a way to kinda force feed her? I know how to do it with the geckos and bearded dragons, not that I need to anymore but I used to have some sick ones.

try feeding a pinkie mouse or two.
if it doesn’t eat in 2 weeks there is a problem and get it checked by a vet.

My plated did the same, didn’t eat for a while. But the applesauce WORKED for me! Try Organic sauce! or other organic produce! they can really smell the difference, I fed mine some banana he smelled it but just licked it, until I served him and organic banana and then HE totally ate it all! weird HUH?
Good luck
p.s. I also have given him some wet dog food! loved that too!
