I have been feeding my leo "can o' crickets" brand dead crickets. she usually eats 4 or 5 on 2 or 3 times a week, and all in less than 24 hours. I tried to feed her on friday and she ate half of them. I suspected it was because she didn't like the calcium liquid I've been spraying on them before I give them to her. I fed her monday and sprayed them, too, but she didnt eat any of those. I've switched them out for ones that were not sprayed and she still wouldn't eat.
I'm really worried and really want to know if I should bring her to a vet or something.....

She's been eating the canned crickets since I got her in the end of March...

None of my reptiles would ever eat the canned crickets. Live gutloaded insects are much healthier and natural, and are usually eaten without any problem. I would try live crickets and mealworms. See this website for diet details:

try live food and calcium dust. or increase the heat . cuz if they don't get enough heat they cant digest. or it could be dehydration. so increase the humidity . but not too much because it could cause respitory infection. the other thing to do is to stop touching or interacting any way at all with her too much human interaction can lead to stress. which is the cause of starvation
