On how settled in they are, their own preferences, whether close to a shed, or during breeding season, etc.
Most of them will come out in the evening or late at night. Since she is still stressed, she might be more timid for now. Once she is well settled in and used to a routine, she might come out some during the day, or at least have her head peeking out of the hide in the "got food" pose
If you have a Ball that endlessly cruises, day and night, it is usually a sign that something is bothering it. If it cruises at night, its usually looking for food or a mate, or just having a walk around
I wouldn't even attempt to feed until she has had a good few days of no interference. Then I would try to feed around your bedtime and leave the rodent with her overnight if she doesn't take it. (not a live one...FT or dead, only) She might eat when undisturbed. Once you offer a rodent that way make sure you can leave her completely undisturbed for the rest of the night, cover the enclosure if needed. If she is in her hide while you try, insert the head of the rodent into the hide. If she doesn't take it, lay it down like that, right in the opening of the hide and leave it
