If she has not been bred, she still may have ovulated and is full of infertile eggs. She will still be restless as if she was carrying a clutch of fertile eggs, hence not feeding, and looking for a place with some moist (Not wet) moss she can burrow into, to lay her eggs in. Gravid corns, regardless of fertile or not eggs, will often become restless and go off their feed.
When she gets a box of moist moss around 4-5 inches deep, she will burrow down into the bottom of the box and remain there, out of sight. Leave her alone, when she emerges from the moss then you can dig around in the moss and find the infertile eggs and toss them. She will then shed again, and resume feeding.
