First off, you're not dealing with a "normal" situation being she's WC and was in poor health when you got her. That said, sounds like she is getting towards the long side of holding feces. Could be that she needs all the nutrients she can get and is not passing them yet. At the risk of being struck again (probably several times  ) look closely at her body structure for any bulging past mid body that could indicate a blockage. I'm no vet and I've never dealt with a WC BRB before so I really can't say. I do know that with my CBB BRB adults within 2 or 3 weeks of ceasing to eat for breeding season, there was a noticeable reduction in feces found in the cages. But, not all had stopped eating so they probably accounted for most if not all the feces found later.
