K, I don't know much about fliers, but I would say that you should leave her alone for a while...give her plenty to eat and drink in the cage, but leave the room and make sure it's warm and quiet in there...dim helps, too. She's probably scared of the new environment.

How old is she? When did you get her? Did she ever eat for you? Was she shipped to you?

I'll be leaving in a few minutes, so I'll try to get back on tonight if you can't post again before I take off...

When I bring tree squirrels in for rehab, it's not unusual for them to refuse food and water for a day or so... Can be problematic if it goes longer than that, so lets see if we can get her feeling more secure. :)
