How long ago did you give it to her? She may need your assistance but if she hasn't had it very long i'd wait it out.
Did you watch the video on here that shows thw 3 weak old kits eating I beleive a rabbit saddle? They can do it they just gotta get the hang of it.

It's been about an hour it's been in there and she looks like she's given up. She's just zooming around the cage ignoring it and... digging behind her litter box. lol

She is too cute! And so small compared to that giant chicken wing!
How old is she, do you know? I got Zoe at ten weeks old, and it seems like I remember her being, like, twice that size!

She's about 8-10 weeks, I believe.

She might just have been full! After all, that little tummy is going to be tiny. I'd leave it in a while longer for her  |

I guess hunger got the best of her since she's munching down on a chicken wing portion with a lot of enthusiasm.

It is likely going to take her a bit to build up the jaw strength to eat her way all the way through a wing, but just give her the chance- she'll get there!

She certainly tried. lol
She couldn't get through all of the bone but she cleaned it completely and gnawed off each end like a champ.

Guess what? You've got a raw feeder  Try her on a variety of meats, so she doesn't imprint on any one. Also get her eating organ meats(chicken/beef liver, kidney, etc.). The sooner she tries all of it, the better! |

I plan to.  Although, the ONE day I go to the grocery store, the butcher has no interesting cheap cuts of meat like they usually do. Story of my life.  |
