Young Tegu

Hi it’s me again!
I am here to confess and ask for some more advice
My tegu Nancy I got her in September as a CB25. She’s a red x black and white tegu. They weren’t sure of her exact age.
I put her into a 6x2x2. And I never really seen her. She barely ever ate (maybe once every 3 month) and never came out
Fast forward to about a week and a half ago. Approx start of May. We decided to move her into a 4x2x2 with 2 basking bulbs. She is much better in her new enclosure. Her basking is about 47 celcius. But we still have to “wake her up” every day. If we get her out she will bask and explore for an hour or so then go back to bed. She had a huge meal about a week ago where she ate loads of chicken mince, heart and liver but she’s not ate anything since. She comes out for 2 hours per day and loves exploring and having a head scratch. She will not touch any insect and I’m worried. How do I get her to come out by herself. Her tank is cluttered and I’m not sure what else to do
Please help me get a happy healthy girl. When we offer her food she will kind of slurp it for about 30 seconds then walk off
