chameleon wont eat plz help i am new as to this being my first chameleon

a few days ago my female jackson chameleon seem to have stoped eating crickets because it seemed like she preffered superworms , after finding out they arent the healthiest of meals i tryed going back to crickets but now she wont even touch em and they would eventually just die off in the cage , and now it seemed like she wont even go for the superworms , she used to eat em rite outta my hand! idk what to do , she finally ate a superworm today which made me a bit happy that she ate but knowing they arent as healthy as other staples has me a bit sad . i ordered silkworms in hope that she woukd go for em the way she does superworms . any ideas as to why shes not eating as much ?? shes in a 18x18x36 , basking spot would vary from 85 / 90 , reptisun terraaruim hood , 5.o UVB and the humidty stays around 50 / 80

How old is she?
Maybe she doesn't need as much food,depending on age. Near a shed?
Try something different, she may be bored of crickets and super worms. Hopefully she will eat the silkworms. There's also Phoenix worms(calci worms, repti worms)

im not sure really the people at petsmart said shes a " juvenile " and im really hoping she does go for the silkworms , ive also read up about the phoenix worms and they seem like a great choice as well , and ive had her exactly a month now ans she just started to shed yesterday and today

oh and rite now shes at the bottom of the cage sleeping ?? lights go on around 9;30 and go off 12 hours later around 9 .

its 6:30 now so is that ok if she sleeps now ?? i mean lights would have gone off in 3 hours so im guessing thats ok rite

Mine tends to head to his sleeping spot before lights go out. They tend to go with outside light a lot, whether inside has lights or not.
She doesn't sleep through the day does she? Is she active, drinking?
She may just be bored with current feeders, hopefully she will pick up and eat when those silkworms come in.
