A lot of babies won't eat veg or pellets for awhile. If they do, sometimes they just nibble on them from time to time. I would suggest putting a small dish of veggies in the cage with her daily. I would go one step further and supply the veg in the morning and hold off on the live crix till a few hours later. 10 crickets a day is not nearly enough for a 2 month old dragon. Are you feeding her the crickets 2 - 3 times during the day or all at once? It is suggested that they get 2 - 3 cricket meals per day at that age and she "should" be eating anywhere from 10 - 25 crickets at each feeding for a total around 30 - 75 cricks per day.
Hope this helps
