Current Problem -

my 9 month old Jackson stopped eating. She generally eats as soon as she sees the crickets, 5-7 crickets every other day. But she has had 5 jumping around her cage for 4 days She is moving around alright and drinking but is starting to look skinny. I have tried meal worms and wax worms in the past but she never liked them. I put an orange slice in the cage to feed the crickets, she smelled it but then moved away. Is there any kind of treat i can get her?
