To be honest, I think her only eating twice before you got her is not good on the prior owner's part. Babies should really have more meals before they can be considered established and sold (or traded).

Also 5 days is not enough of an acclimation period. Talk to the person you got her from and set her up EXACTLY like she was with that person. Same size tub, same heat gradient, same substrate, same water bowl. Offer food in the same way too. Minimize the change as much as possible.
