Maybe you should change your source of Calcium? I have a picky eater as well, and I use the Rep-Cal stuff with the pink label.

Try just putting a Calcium dish in her tank at all times so that she can lick it as needed, and dust with a Multi-vitamin and a Calcium once a week, then just feed her regular undusted crickets and mealies the rest of the time

Mine never had any problems with that but id say give it time, when it gets hungry enough it will eat them.

I just supply a constant dish of calcium in the cage, they can get it when they need it.. One of my geckos wont eat dusted either. But I've seen him licking calcium out of the dish, so he knows what to do.
