She may be stressed out. Sometimes the others will intimidate the most submissive tokay. With that many tokays hopefully you have an terarium that is at least 100 gallons.
A single tokay does very well in a 20 gallon tank, but if you include another one the minimum is at least 50 gallons per each additional tokay.

Wait.
If tzhe tokay looks fine, do not worry. Tokays are sensitive creatures and any change in accomodation stresses tehm a lot. It may take 3-6 weeks till they start eating.
Anyhow, it makes a lot of sense to try to collect feces and have it checked for parasites.
If the tokay looks emaciated, weak with sunken in eyes and visible pelvis bones, hurry to see a vet.
