I have a 7 week old female panther
and i don't think she has eaten for the 3 days I have had her

I have tryed both hand feeding and placing her next to a bowl of crickets

any ideas would be helpfull

I have two young panthers and they rather catch their food. Ive been cup training them the last couple weeks but they don't eat as much out of the cup. Mine will not hand feed yet either...

7 weeks is really small. I dont think it will cup feed. I would suggest flies as they cant hide. You can also try putting feeders on the screen, if the cham is not scared of you, or try tong feeding.

Find out what she was eating with the previous owner. Also, find out how she was being fed. As mentioned, some Chams can take some time to adjust to new feeders or a new way of offering the feeders.

Also, sounds like you have just had her for a few days. It is common for them not to eat much for a few days while they adjust to a new home.

I thought using a cup was being helpful
sounds like its the opposite

Her little belly looks full today
so thats good news

how long should i expect it to take for her to get
acclimated to her new home ?

The only time she isnt very dark is when she sleeps
