I found a hatchling mourning gecko who was missing her tail crawling around on my monitor a few days ago. She was so dehydrated that she could barely stick to anything and was overall pretty sad looking so I decided to try and see what I could do for her. It's been three days now and I've got her to drink off the fake plant I've got in with her and she even checked out the little water dish a few times, but as far as I can tell she hasn't eaten any of the pinhead crickets or the banana baby food I put out for her. I have some crested gecko food that the internet said they could eat on the way as well. She doesn't seem as active as other mourning geckos I've seen around my apartment and is kinda sluggish when she does move around. I read you can encourage them to eat by putting a tiny bit of their food on their face so they lick it off, but I'm worried this will stress her out even more. Any advice on how long I should wait before going with that? Or anything else I should try?

Here she is chilling out on her little fake bush this morning -
