HELP!!!! My baby girl cham doesn't seem to be eating

[Cham4days]

Okay so here we go.

I have a veiled cham, about 4-6 weeks old. I already know she is way to young to be sold but the pet store lady didn' tell us this. I have a heat light as well as a 65w flood light. She gets about 12/12 of light and dark. Her basking spot is between 90-100 with an ambient temp of 70-78. Night time temp may drop to 69-70. Feeding really small crickets dusted with calcium without d3 as well as reptivite. Drip line is placed right where she like to hang out.. which no no where near the basking area. I've had her for about 5 days now and in total I have only seen her eat 1 small cricket. I've tried free range feeding her, bowl feeding her and hold one with my fingers.... nothing seems to work. I can put 6-10 crickets in her feeding up. Wait all day and all of the crickets will remain. I really need help or suggestions, I don't want her to starve to death. I don' have access to Phoenix worms but have tried small crickets as well as small roaches. Any help would be really appreciated. So

Your basking spot is WAY too hot. You need to get it down to 80-85 degrees fahrenheit. See if that helps.

Where do you live? (Cool climate or hot is why I'm asking?) How long have you had her?

Re supplements...it's recommended that you dust the insects just before feeding them to the chameleon with a phosphorous-free calcium powder at almost every feeding. ..twice a month with a phosphorous-free calcium/D3 powder...twice a month with a vitamin powder.

Do you have a UVB light?

The spot she normally hangs out is between 80-90 just depends on the time of day. I took off the other heat light so we will see if that helps.

I live in Texas, so really it changes from day to day lmao. I'e had her for about a week now, she is 4-6 weeks old, way to young to be sold. I have the correct supplements. Calcium with and without d3 as well as reptivite. Right now I have a coiled uvb ( crap I know) I have this one on the way.

Can't see the attachment.

It's a t5 ho and a Acadia bulb. She only seems to be eating maybe 1-2 crickets every other day or so.. just don't wanna loose her

Is she pooping? She should be eating about 15 crickets a day. Can you post a photo that shows me her size compared to the cricket?
There are no vents or fans blowing on her are there?

Try to just lower the wattage of the heat light, she needs it to digest the food that she is taking in.

Will she drink? If so...while her mouth is opening and shutting while she drinks, stick a cricket head first into her mouth so she bites down on it with her teeth.
