She could be adjusting to her new enclosure/surroundings, give her some time and just keep offering food, maybe some meal worms/wax worms or something in a small feeder dish that you can leave in there..

Does she drink? If she drinks you might be able to get her to drink some peach baby food from an eye dropper to perk her up enough to eat some crickets.

It takes chams several weeks to adjust to new sorroundings.

Give her time..

in the meantime, can you fill this out please?
So we can see if there is any husbandry stuff we can help you with>

Hello, welcome to the forum The more foliage she has to feel safe in the quicker she will be likely to get settled and eating properly. Here is a great basic caresheet I always recommend to new people with Veileds - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/chameleonsinmyhouse/395-veiled-chameleon-care-sheet.html

The first few months of life are the mot crucial! Definitely give her some time to settle in before handling. Offer her many places where she can hide and feel safe. Once she feels comfortable, she will eat if there are no other existing problems.

I would probably stick to just the small crickets (no larger in length than how wide her mouth is) to get her attention!
