Has she ever eaten while in your care at all? If not, I suggest checking your husbandry. Double check temperatures, both warm and cool end, how big is the cage she's in? What is the humidity? What sort of hides are you using? How are you heating the cage? What kind of cage is it? (ie glass tank, sweaterbox?)

How was she kept by the previous owner? What did he feed her? At what time of day/night are you offering food? What size food are you offering? The more info you provide, the better we can determine why she's not eating.

If she doesn't start eating soon and continues to drop weight, a vet trip will be a good idea.
