She should be separated and left to acclimate to her own enclosure for two weeks before you start to handle her. Once she's separated, she likely will eat for you. I'm sure she's been very stressed with moving to a new home and now sharing a home with larger geckos that probably intimidate her. These are animals that are capable of going a very long time without food and the only instance that you should be force feeding is in the case of an emergency.
Please fix the housing issues and then allow your gecko to settle and it will come around.

Yoshi's mom already covered it. One other note is that they really should have a quarantine time just incase it does have an issue you don't want them all exposed to it. I house all 3 of ours seperatley and wash hands between working with the different setups.
