Default chile rose eating again !!

I bought an adult chile rose last summer and she fed great on locusts for a while, until 13th october. I've tried feeding her locusts or crickets every couple of weeks, and 3 crickets disappeared but may have escaped rather than been eaten.
Anyhow I tried again today and she immediately ate a large cricket. So I tried another after an hour and she ate that too, and she's just finished her third! I think that's enough for now.
I read on here that they often go off food for a while and she showed no sign of deterioration, so I wasn't too worried. It's nice to see her eating again though.
