Most leopard geckos are shy when you first bring them home, and it usually takes a week or so for them to settle in. This means that they will probably hide and refuse to eat until they are used to you and their new home. Don't worry about it at the moment, as long as she's a healthy leo she'll be fine. Just keep offering her food and she will eat it when she's ready, and dont worry about her being in the mosit hide all the time.. my leopard gecko, Banana, practically lives in hers!

Few things... is the new leo in its own enclosure? How are you heating, what are your temps, and how/what are your feeding? It would be very helpful if you would fill out our care questionnaire in the health section sickys that was we can make sure there aren't any husbandry issues on top of the settling in stuff.
