I'm going to come across as a bit strong, but since I feel your kitten's life may be in danger, please bear with me.
You MUST take her to a vet ASAP after reading this. Listlessness is a bad sign in a kitten as well as a lack of appetite. Even though she is not a "baby" her smaller body can mean that things can go bad fairly quickly!
Also you MUST cover wherever she is nibbling from. Not later, but right now. Period. Or get her away from it. If she nibbles elsewhere you must cover that too. I have read terrible stories of cats that have chewed at things that were not good for them and who have died many days down the road after the first bite.
This is not a behavioral issue from what I gather. Your kitten could have any number of problems going on - I suspect some sort of inability to absorb nutrients properly.
I can see that you are a person who cares deeply for your cats. So please get her to a vet ASAP!! And then, please let us know how she does. -----
