Not digesting?

So my latest addition to our house has been doing well. Until I noticed her three last stools are undigested lumps of mealworms(her normal diet from last owner).
The temp in cage is from 80 cool hide to 90+ hot hide. With a moist hide in the middle of tank. Calcium on worms. Water dish.
Maybe just stress of move. She's been with us almost a month now.

Hmm... might want to take her in for parasite and crypto test just to be safe.

In the meantime, feed some crickets and a soft bodied worm or two (wax, silk, or horn) and see if that settles her stomach.

Update. Probably just stress. I have both my larger ladies in my 55 gallon now with 3 hides cold to hot and a moist. They are doing great. Both cone out and wander around tank in late evenings as my wife and I watch the TV over them. We end up watching them.
And the juvenile that went on a hunger strike is in her own 15 with simple surroundings. She is now up to 5-10 small crickets daily. From nothing for almost 5 weeks. She is starting to get her weight back after a week in there.
And my albino baby is now as big as the juvi. And eats like a boss. I keep her mealworm bowl full. She empties 20-30 in 2 days. I'll keep feeding her like this till she gets grown then maybe cut her back.
