Before you consider her to have 'gone off' mealworms or to not 'like' them, its first worth considering reasons why she may not be eating them.

Have you recently purchased her?
Has she been eating other things?
How have you been presenting them?
Have you been counting the number added?
Are you confident that other husbandry requirements are being met (temperature etc...)?
