I did a quick search on coprophagia and basically found that it's either a deficiency of some kind or a behavioral issue. Recommendations were expanding the diet (I know you already feed fresh foods so maybe try some veggies you haven't yet?) and including orange, green and yellow veggies. (carrots, squash, pumpkin, sweet potato, kale). One site suggested that the usual deficiency that leads to coprophagia is calcium. Full spectrum lighting was suggested as a possible remedy. The other recommendation was to relieve boredom by adding more toys, offering a big enough cage and plenty of out of cage time but you do all of those things so I'm thinking it must be a deficiency. And of course a vet check is recommended.
I would probably try adding some more variety to the diet. What are the normal veggies she gets?
