We're not so much worrying, just wondering whether it'd be okay to just throw in a few locusts/roaches and leave her to it? As I say with the beardie we make sure they've all been eaten but we don't know how long it'd take her to come out eat them and what not.

She's lovely though not even hissy or anything to be honest, she's scared you can definitely tell that as she picks herself up a bit when I put my hand too close (was giving her a snail and I must've got too close lol) but aside from that she's an angel.

Aye haven't picked her up or touched her. I must say though that when she was put into the container I couldn't feel her! She's SO light! So it will be good when she trusts me a little more so I can weigh her.

No does not matter mate mine eats both, I cut mine in half, I also tried them on prawns, and sprats, ate them, & refused them. I think they will pretty much eat anything. I have read an article that they will even eat meal left overs, pizza, pies, bread etc, but I would use them.
I got some Grapes lastnight so I will be trying them later today.
Any more food suggestions ?
