Cham baby not eating...

My ~3 month female panther (just had her first shed today!) is driving me crazy by not taking to cup-feeding.

I have the cup just below her basking perch. I know she likes to hunt but I'm afraid her enclosure is too large for her to get enough, plus I don't want crickets to attack her at night.

I currently have her in the smallest ZooMed screen cage. I've put hornworms, mealworms and wax worms in at separate times and she hasn't taken to them.

Any tips on how I can make sure she is getting enough food?
 
Baby chams require more care than older chams. I tried the whole cup feeding with my 2/3 month old and he would not have any part in it. I would sugget doing what I do: Feed her about 15 crickets free ranged, and every night before she goes to bed grab as many as you can... they usually hang out by the heat source, so it is easier than it sounds.
Let us know
 
Not sure but sometimes they will not eat for a couple of days before or after their shed. Mine is getting ready for a shed and has stopped eating as well. How many days since she ate last? Is she drinking? That is the most important thing.
