What about misting and drinking water? Sometimes chams start missing prey because they are dehydrated and the glands in their tongue don't produce enough moisture to keep the tip sticky. What is the humidity level in the cage? It might be a lot drier than you realize. Check her skin elasticity by gently pulling a fold in your fingers. Release the skin. It should snap back flat quickly. If it remains "tented" for a few seconds she is dehydrated. Her casque should be bulgy and full looking, not concave.
