Signs of pre-molt?

My p scrofa put a small barrier of substrate not completely blocking it off, in front of her hide(she's done this a couple times before), and just ignored a mealworm I offered her. She's been slow with the mealworms in the past, but she seemed to notice it, and just pretend it wasn't there. Typically I feed crickets but I havent been able to get to the pet store this week. I got her almost exactly two months ago, and I don't know when she molted last before that.

Are these signs of pre-molt? If not, when should I try feeding again?

I would back off on trying to offer her food. the barrier is a sign of not wanting to be bothered. or a molt comming on

I'd wait and see if her behavior changes at all. Sounds like she could be going premolt
