Hey Maya' welcome! Yes it can take a gecko few days to a few weeks to adjust to her new home; as long as food is available she will eat when she is ready.

Welcome to GF Maya! Here is a link to our caresheet for leopard geckos: http://ohiogecko.com/care-sheets-mainmenu-35/leopard-gecko-care-sheet.html It is important to have the right habitat and temps setup so the gecko can digest their food properly. If the habitat is setup properly it usually helps with the geckos demeanor and handleability. I have talked to numerous people who had unfriendly geckos and found a direct correlation to them using lights for heat.
