My GBB sling not eating after molt...

As the title says my GBB sling is not eating almost two weeks after molt. I read an earlier post that said it sometimes takes a week to a week and a half for them to eat.
She’s(I think she’s a she) had a full water dish consistently and a good temp inside her terrarium. Feeding her crickets currently, and it’s been about a month since she eat before molting.
Any help or info would be appreciated!

Best advice is to just wait another week and try again. What size is the sling? Just make sure you have the proper prey size for the sling.

I would recommend trying to feed it prekilled crickets or a cut up superworm

They’re pretty small crickets, I don’t know their exact size but they’re the same size I’ve fed her before she molted. I just tried putting another cricket in that I severely wounded but not dead.
She is about the suite of my thumb.

I did realize that her terrarium was on the cold side at 71 F. I have since warned things up to low 80s, could this have affected her wanting to eat?
