as with the dubia colony and the dragon I was worried about parasites. i didn't want to end up making her problems worse by feeding her bad dubias and I didn't want to catch anything if she already has parasites.
as for the temps I'll have to work those out later. currently I have her on greens but they go bad so fast so I'd like to move her to something that lasts a bit longer in the fridge so i'm not throwing a bunch of it away.
-I am not sure what you mean about working temps out later, you need to establish the proper temps and cage environment for her to recover, improper temps, environment, and UV lead to an animal that wont eat, so the mentality of "working it out later" is wrong. I will ask again what is her current setup like? What size cage, substrate, lighting, temps... they need a steady staple of greens as well as protein, you cant just eliminate feeding it to them because it goes bad fast, if she is eating greens then continue to feed, try feeding dubias, horn worms, super worms, wax worms, butter worms, silk worms, meal worms...the list goes on...
Here is an entire food chart: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
