Answer
Hello Angie,

First of all, do you have an undertank heater for her?  Or do you just use a basking light?  If you do not have an undertank heater, she does need one of those on 24/7 as they digest food much better with belly heat in combination of overhead heat to get a hot spot on one end of 88-90.  
The basking light can be turned off at night but leave the undertank heater on.  
So she has a moist hide on the end where it is warmer to help with shed?  At the cooler end, she just needs a half log as you have.
Are you measuring the temperature in there at all?  You will need a digital probe to test the basking spot & hot end to make sure it doesn't get over 90 in there.  
How are her stools?  She may have parasites?  The crickets could have been a bad batch unfortunately.  
You are going to have to begin rehydrating her with water & pedialyte.  Also, get some chicken or turkey babyfood to feed her through a plastic dropper or syringe by dripping it onto her nose, or getting it into her mouth by getting a swab to open her mouth & put the food in quickly.
