Hi Justine :) Good to see you again. Glad I could help you before and hopefully I will be able to help again.

This is a new adjustment for her...being separated from her boy friend. It may take her a few days to get back to her playful self. Leave her be for a few days, just make sure she has fresh food and water. She may even be a little stressed if she is still able to smell or see the male. See if you can cover her section of the cage so she can chill out. Also, real quick, check her over for any bite marks he may have left on her and treat them with neosproin if needed.

Good luck :)
