Is that they same schedule you started with her? My opinion is that I would increase the size of the rodents to 1 small rat, and add some fruit to the other days when you just feed eat chunks. I don't know how big the locusts are, but maybe throw a few more in there on those days as well. She's growing, so be sure to add enough calcium to the boneless meat and insects.

Feed her daily until she stops eating.
