Ok, here is some advice you should take but dont get mad if you dont like what you hear.

She is under weight, the chips besides impaction can cause some problems like bacterial growth and certain dust that can be bad for it as well.

I strongly suggest she be kept for a while on paper towels and the humidity droped even lower than that. IMO that is still to high.

start introduceing other foods while introduceing crickets just cut back more and more on the crickets, also make sure that the other items are dusted with calcium and vitamins ( not both at the same time) when ever feeding. You didnt mention a calcium dish, put a small dish of calcium in her tank she will eat from it and later most likely start eating non dusted foods. Leo's forage for calcium in the wild, its in a Leo's nature to look for it. Also make sure it has clean water to drink from, I have seen some Leos and other reptiles for some reason start to reject other foods that they took on a daily bassis just because of not haveing enough water but still eat the crickets.

Now this is just my suggestion's I have been keeping Leo's for a long time and have had complete succes over 10 years or more I have never had a Leo fall ill or die, only had some common shedding problems once in a while,... and keep this in mind.

I never discriminate a Leo because of where it is sold, I have taken some leo's that looked like death on the doorsteps and made them something worth living.
