she could be ovulating which ive read some females stop eating. you say she stopped eating for a week?.

yes, a week. I did not know they stopped eating during ovulating. How long does it usually take before she will start eating once again?

Not really. only vitamin supplements a year ago.

Is she comfortable with soaking? if so soak her for 10 minutes. If not drop a few drops of water on her lips and then try feeding her to see if it helps.

Just one insect without the dust.

I tried to soak her but she climbed out the bin in panic. I was able to drip some water and she ate a cricket:D

So do you think I should keep trying to soak her?
