Do you use a diet like rephashy. If so put some on its nose and it might lick it off. Or make it quite watery and put it in a syringe, if you can get it to open its mouth squirt a bit in at a time, it may spit most of it how but some may go down, although this will be difficult with a 6 month old. Usually they can't resist going after crickets, but some can't be bothered, can try with feeding tongs to make it easier for it. The viv isn't too hot or anything that could cause stress or make things difficult to hunt. Thats all I got.

I'm no expert as I have only had Ludo for a very short time, but I was expecting him/her not to eat due to stress of moving and new home.
Firstly how long have you had the crestie - is it still settling in?
Secondly do you know what diet it was eating before you got it?
It is quite difficult to tell if they are eating repashy or clarks diet if lots is put in the feed bowl.
Ludo doesn't appear to eat much repashy, but had a feeding frenzy with gut loaded crickets.
There are a couple of good crested gecko groups on FB, people on them are very helpful.
Hope your crestie eats soon for you.
