Question Revel's eating habits?

I've had Revel for 8 days now and i've noticed her eating habits are a bit odd.
The other hamsters eat any fruit or veg I give them. They love it and gobble it up.
When I give Revel fruit/veg she takes no interest at all, like literally ignores it, doesn't even give it a sniff. She often just walks over it too.
I've tried apple, cucumber, brocolli, sweetcorn and peas so far. I know it's not much but still.
Is there a reason for this or is it just a case of trying her on other fruit/veg?

Java ignored all treats and food for the first couple of days. I imagine she was scared and it was new and confusing for her. Just place it in her cage and see if she goes for it

That's what I do. She won't eat anything outside her cage so I put it in and I end up having to take it out a day or two later because it will start to go bad. No nibble or bite marks at all.

She might just not like fresh fruits or veggies. Some of my hamsters don't really have much interest in them. They will usually try it, but not always for every hamster.

We've had our hamster for 2 weeks and he didn't eat any fresh veg for days, but now he is eating a few different ones and loves plain cooked chicken too!
