I would let her be. Put some crumpled up newspaper in her tub. That will make her feel more secure. Then in 7 days offer her food again.

Re: Femal bp not eating.
As long as her heat is being met, either by UTH or lamp, I'd let it be. Do as Charlie said and crumple up some newspaper and limit handling for 7 days. If that doesn't work we'll go from there.
I wouldn't suggest assisted or force feeding just yet, as long as she's not losing any weight you should be fine.

In fact, handling should be the last thing right now. We want her to eat, and by limiting any possible stress is the best approach to get her set straight.

Re: Femal bp not eating.
I don't handle my BP's until they are eating well for me. I have racks and I use 2 hides. Also for me, I don't go below a 32 qt. All my BP's are all doing well.
