I have found in my personal experience that most of my geckos take 2 to 4 weeks to eat regularly after receiving them. Don't worry, 4 days is not a big deal.

You can never have just one gecko. Actually it is almost impossible to have two

its perfectly normal for a gecko to not eat right away. the only thing you can do is leave him/her alone, unless it starts declining in health.

Many new gex won't eat for a week or more. Best you can do is reduce stress, provide lots of comfy hides, make sure your temps are prefect, and don't handle her at all.
