breaker's comments are really good. Just letting your frillie chill out and feel safe is really important. I have one female that has a curtain in front of her cage 24-7. Now she's eating really well.

Your cage setup sounds like a good size but I still don't think you have enough heat or light. Hang a thermometer where your frillie hangs out. You need at least 75 at night and 90 day. 80 and 100 is even better.

Frillies need a lot of light. 14 hours of bright light with lots of UVA is needed to stimulate their appetite. I have a lot of light in my cages (and a big electric bill), but a quick measurement with a light meter will show that my cages aren't even in the same ballpark as daylight, but it seems close enough to fool them.
