You can try to separate her from the other gecko. It shall be much easier to see if she has eaten. If you see then that see still hasn't eaten, you can take her to the vet. Maybe she has some kind of infection. If that so, go with the normal female to the vet too.

I have had this happen to me before too. Does your leo have a nice fat tail? If so then do not panic yet. I have had a couple leos that I bought, instead of ones I hatched out, and it took 2-3 weeks before they would eat. Our local mentor in the gecko world said that they sometimes get stressed out and won't eat for a time. Also make sure that it is warm enough on the bottom of the cage. I also agree with the other reply. I would defiintely separate them for now. Even though she may look healthy you must be careful. If she doesn't start eating soon go ahead and take her to a vet just to make sure.

Good Luck!

As long as she poops, she eats.
Same thing happened when I got my first gecko. What I did was placing a piece of paper infront of his hide, so to avoid eating sand, then put half-dead mealworms on it, then he ate.
