Dont feed her chicken baby food and oil.

what then?

Feeding your gecko anything besides live feeders is an absolute last resort. Geckos go off their food sometimes for many reasons... brumation, stress, ovulation, egg laying etc. You just changed her tank up with a light on it and she's probably stressing. If she's not losing weight noticeably, leave her be and let her chill out. Only disturb her to give her fresh water, leave fresh mealworms in her dish and to weigh her (every few days to a week, not daily). Count the mealworms when you put them in and count them when you take them out to see if she's eaten any. Also, don't let crickets just wander the tank. They can stress her out and can also bite her if they're hungry enough.
