Up to a week. If she still hasn't eaten by then something else is wrong.

You also need to ask the breeder or seller what they used as the leos diet.... Lets say a leo was raised on crickets from birth, it might not show any interest in a mealworm and vice versa..... But as Brian said, a week should be enough time for a leo to settle in.... If it does not eat there could be other problems..... Most can be easily treat when taken to a vet that specializes in reptiles.....
