Leachi not eating help

Soo my 1 year old female leachi that I adopted a week and 2 days ago hasn't been eating or drinking. ive been trying to let her acclimate but she is just hiding in her cork bark. I was able to slide small pieces of banana in there that were mushed up and let her come to it at the edge of the cork. Im assuming she is stressed because the smaller terrarium, but I was recommended leaving her alone for 2 weeks. The new terrarium is almost ready for her but i've been waiting for the 2 weeks to finish before moving her over. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? She also hasn't growled or made any noises like that since I got her.

UPDATE: She is no longer in the terrarium shown in the pictures. She is now in a larger and better filled terrarium.

Also if you are going to comment be helpful please? I may be new to having a gecko but I'm not dumb, I want to learn and do the best I can to take care of my leachi. Thanks for understanding.

Leachianus Terrarium Update

So this is what I have so far for my new terrarium for my Leachi. This is the first time i've built a terrarium for a Leachi so any and all advice is appreciated. I still need to drill holes for airflow and transfer over her feeding ledge and her cork stuff. I know it's not perfect, but it's a work in progress and bigger than the one she is in currently.

Edit: My Leachi is just over 1 year old and is roughly 7 inches long. I'm unsure of her current weight.

Update

so I've had my leachi for about a week. She has been hiding during the day and exploring at night like normal. I can confirm earlier in the week she ate a few times and drank water, but for the past 2-3 days she has just hid in her cork log and hasn't came out. I am trying to finish the new terrarium so I can move her in today, but i'm worried I'm stressing her out, but i'm also worried not seeing her and her not eating or drinking anything for a few days. Is this normal? Should I get her to come out so she can eat or just leave her be?

Leachi diet questions.

As of recent I got my first leachi. I have been feeding her live crickets and a mixture I bought and made for her. The person I got her from seemed knowledgeable but after some help from others discussing that her terrarium was too small for her (i'm already in the process of moving her to the new, bigger terrarium), the guy said she would be fine in it and most disagreed with that so i'm having my doubts on what I can and cant feed her. I was told they can eat boiled chicken, boiled egg, fruit but nothing with citrus. Are these correct? Any suggestions or things that I SHOULD NOT give her. I will also post the instructions/ingredients for the mixture I made so it can be looked at too.

leachianus gecko care help

I just got my first leachianus 2 days ago. I'm super excited about it but I want to make sure i'm doing things right. She just turned 1 less than a month ago. She is currently in a vertical 10in(H) x 10in(D) x 8in(W) terrarium. She has been hiding in the same spot not moving around much since I let her go in on her own. She hasn't eaten or drank anything since Friday and at the time of posting it is Sunday.
