I've got one with the same problem. Mine's a couple of months old now and I have had to assist feed him since I've had him. What I do is hold his head between my thumb and forefinger and with tweezers gently push down on the side of his mouth till he opens up and then push the cricket in.He always starts to chew and swallow. It has only been in the last week that he has actually taken food from the tweezers and last night he actually chased and caught a few crickets himself. I advise to try this and I'm sure in a few weeks or maybe less she'll get the idea of how to do it herself. Just take care opening her mouth. Persevere and it'll pay off in the end.

Cheers, Greg.
