Is she a breeding female? Could be her calcium levels are low?

If she is housed with others it might be worth seperating her in case she is stressed from constant breeding attempts by a male.
You could try her with wax worms to help build her up a bit, personally I prefer to offer my cresties livefood anyway, it gives them something to do - hunting as well as promoting exercise.

I would be more worried if she was not eating the cgd as that's way more nutritous than crickets and probably anything else you could give her.Is she an subadult she may have laid an infertile clutch somewhere in the viv.
