If she is acting completely normal otherwise and playful then I wouldn't be concerned just yet. She may be adjusting to her new surrounding or not interested in the food being offered to her. Try a high quality canned food such as Royal Canin canned food or Hills Science diet canned food just to name a few. If she doesn't eat by tomorrow and is acting ill, then it is a good time to worry somewhat and have her examined by your local vet to sort things out.
