I hate thinking she's hungry or not getting enough wet food.

Changing their food can be a bit tricky.
How about crushing some of the dry food she likes, and putting it on top of the Animonda? Or abandon the Animonda, and see if she'll accept the Grau, with or without the crushed dry on top.
Could be that she would rather eat dry food if that's what she's used to, or that she just doesn't like that particular flavour of wet.
