If she becomes alert and seems interested, but then turns away after licking them, she may have just lost interest in her food. One of my leos (I have had her since the dawn of time ) gets bored easily when it comes to food and I have to offer her different things every few months or so. My recommendation is to vary your gecko's diet a bit. Try offering her crickets, butterworms, superworms, silkworms, etc. If she still doesn't want to eat, don't worry too much. These lil' guys have a tendency to not eat for reasons we may not ever really understand . If you don't have one already, invest in a digital scale and keep track of her weight. A vet visit might be necessary if she starts to lose a lot of weight.
