First thing is she does not look healthy. Her tail is very thin. Couple of things i would suggest. 1. Try feeding her with a tongs. IE put the cricket or mealworm on the tongs and place it in front of her. Sometimes they will take it right of the tongs but try and make sure the bait ''wiggles'' to get her attention. If she wont eat from a tongs (And some wont) let it wiggele in front of her and then drop it. ( the bait not the tongs ) 2. Keep feeding her with the baby food. Syringe a piece onto her moyth area as they will normally lick it from there face. Even though it might seem like a small amount she is eating. 3. Leave her alone for a couple of days. It seems you got he and changed her enviroment a couple fo weeks later. Soem Leo's dont like change and some also dont like to be handled. Both of these bring on stress and if they are stressed they wont eat. You set up seems ok so i would put it down to stress. Remember if all else fails take her to the vet. I would suggest you do this if she hasnt eaten anything in the next 3 days.
