you might just have to drop a mealworm one at a time in front of her and she should chase after em... I have to do this with one of my geckos blue...

I have a few geckos who are very poor hunters and some hatchlings who don't get the bowl idea and still think that food comes from above. For some of them crickets was the answer (the ones who needed something that moved faster), but for my poor hunters, superworms do the trick. At most, I have to put the worm down and hold it by one end and they can catch it. The superworms move faster than mealworms, but not as fast as crickets. Also, if you do have to hand feed, it takes a lot fewer superworms to fill a gecko than mealworms. They are expensive if you buy them by the small container at a petstore and often most of them are dead. If you're willing to have a bunch around, you can buy in bulk online and they last a long time. Just put them in something they can't chew through, as I found out through painful experience.
