I recently picked up a WC that had been imported last September, had not yet eaten, when I got her, took her to the vet and of course she had to be treated for parasites. After a couple of treatments and about a month of trying nce a weoek (rats, mice, hampsters, no gerbils we don't have them in CA) she finally ate. Honestly they can go like two years without eating, so don't worry if yours isn't eating unless it looks obviously sick. Do not force feed it! Here is a link to a page with some good advice on getting your WC to eat.

Hope this helps!
