start with a mealworm and break it in half, let her lick the insides, once she does that there shouldn't be a problem,however; if there is and she still won't eat it, you can try the 3 stage thing..
1st stage.. cut one up into 3 pieces, then lay it on the top of her food.
2nd stage.. cut it into 2 pieces lay it on the food.
3rd stage.. offer it whole to her again..
by this time she should jump at the chance to eat it..
also say her name, or make a "specific" sound, that she will only associate with the insects.
we scrape the top of the lid, and they come running where ever they are, also great for retrieveing a glider that has escaped..
