Well get her in a test tube with an outworld or a tubs and tubes set up. Then you give her food such as but not confined to: cricket (prekilled), mealworm (prekilled), roach (prekilled), honey (diluted with water, my preference), and sugar water. She needs protein and carbohydrates. Pictures would be nice as well.

Give her some dirt in her tube and an outworld. These guys need to forage.
