I would handle her a few times a week at least if it is a pet. Many females go off feed this time of year, I wouldnt be too worried. If she has good body weight she can go months without eating and it will have no ill effects. I would expect her to start eating regularly as the season changes over the next month or so, especially if she has always been a good feeder. I usaully offer food this time of year and if its refused I just let them skip.
Thats why Balls are so great as pets. You do not have to walk them, comb them, cut their nails, etc.. They only eat 3-4 maybe 5 or 6 times a month(or less in winter). They go to the bathroom rather infrequently and its a snap to clean. You can hold them if you want too, and if you dont want to hold them they are perfectly content to sit under a warm hid for two weeks and mind their own business...the perfect pets.
