Baby Ball - Hungry or PMS?

ok.. heres the scoop. I finally got my ball.. and she's adorable..and had the best "personality"..when I first got her. This was like 2 weeks ago, btw. Anyway.. so the guy I got her from said that he JUST fed her that day so be careful not to handle her too much because she might regurge [ duh ].. so i left her alone for the most part, Im not saying I didnt handle her at all... but I kept my distance and let her digest and get used to the new house. Anyway..so I kept an eye on her and didnt see any poop in her tank for that week. So one day.. I opened her tank to fix something and put fresh water in her bowl..when she snapped at me. I saw her out the corner of my eye..and she didnt reach so that was good. Anyway..so I figured that she was being dominant and didnt want me touching her cave that she loves so much..so I backed off and left her alone that day. The next day.. I tried to handle her..to see if it was an attitude thing [ which i doubted..because she was a sweetheart since I got her ] or if she was just being protective of her hide. So I reached in to get her while her head was facing the other direction, and picked her up. She was ok with it.. so I ruled the attitude part out. Then she brung her head back around and tasted me..and started hissing!! I put her back in the tank and figured that she sensed me being warm blooded...and was hungry. So I got her a mouse the next morning. She ate it as soon as she laid eyes on it! [ Which was great..because I know how balls have horrible mood swings when it comes to food ] Anyway.. so now its been 3 days since she was fed..and she stays in her hide most if not all of the time..and she still hasnt digested her food.. because I dont see any poop. I want to handle her..but Im worried that it might be too early..or she might snap again. Any opinions on what it might be?.. do you think she snapped simply because she was hungry..or should I prepare myself to deal with an aggressive ball? And how long does it usually take for them to "go".. my corn would go within 3 days..so Im assuming balls' have a slower digestive system. But any insight on this would help. Thanks!

Btw..here are a few pictures of her and her setup!












Her setup is really different now.. I'll post more pics up when I get em.
