Most people say it takes about a week for a gecko to settle in to their new homes. If she doesn't start to eat again within another week and is noticeably losing weight (weigh her now, for record purposes), take her to the vet. She could just be in a bad mood from being shipped (one of my geckos goes days without eating for a few days after I clean his tank out) and is being fussy. Perhaps you could try an appetite stimulant. Where abouts do you live? I knwo there is a naturally occuring product in the U.S that people recomend. I will find the name of it for you.

However, the stress of being shipped and being introduced to a new home could have upset her internal balance and she could have become susceptible to parasites or an illness. So, if she stil hasn't eaten anything after another week, take her to a vet.

Good Luck!
