I have to agree with Kitty. Sounds like your baby is stressed out and dehydrated. While the gatorade can help there's also a product called "stress ease" that I have found to be very helpful. I don't know if its available to you in Brazil but look for it. You can add solution to the drinking water and also let your baby soak in it.
If it were me, I wouldn't go nuts handling her right now. This will probably stress her out all the more. If you don't already have something in the enclosure, provide her with somewhere to hide. They sell all kinds of products for just this purpose. If she can hide away for a while, I think she will begin to feel more secure as she adjusts to her new home. Just my opinion. As Kitty said, do lots of research. I made many mistakes first time around. Try to do it right the first time. What are you feeding your baby?

Good luck, hope this helps. Come back soon and let s know.
