Default Hamster not eating?

My girlfriend recently got a syrian hamster and she's worried about it not eating. She got it home on Wednesday, it's in a zoozone, has a wodent wheel, few toys etc. She's bought a hamster food mix called Harry Hamster and she's offered it some monkey nuts and some treats. Apparently though it seems to have been hoarding the monkey nuts and not eating them and doesn't seem to be eating the food mix, though she's seen the hamster investigating the food bowl.

She seems to think its bottom teeth are too long so that might be why, but she can't take it to the vets until Wednesday.

I'm not sure if she's over worrying and she's just not noticing it eating? I mean it's alert and active and logically it must have been eating for the time it's been in the pet shop(it's 20 weeks old). It is still drinking.

I imagine she'll take it to the vets to get it checked over, but you people think she's over worrying or are there a few reasons why it might not be eating?

cheers, Joe.
