 Need Help

I just bought a female fat tail last Tuesday. It is now Sunday, and she has only eaten three crickets. Is this okay? I have a 100 watt light on her during the day and a 50 watt red bulb at night, and it seems to keep the temperature right. I have thermometers in her cage, but I was wondering if I need an UTH. Other than that, I was wondering what their feces are supposed to look like ( sound weird, I know), but I just want to make sure that she is healthy. Please Help!!! Thanks...

Thats normal it just needs tme to adjust like all animals.
I cant tell you if your lights are right, check with a digital thermometer.
You do not need a UTH if your surface temps are good.
Black with bright white is a good color(seperate not mixed).

Geckos get stressed by changing homes, so it will take a little bit to eat a normal amount.

Wattage is irrelevant; get a digital thermometer and do lighting according to temps.

Poop is white and dark grey mix usually.
