May be that she is being bullied / dominated by the other two, she could have been a runt and is not faring to well when kept with a more dominant couple, Iv'e had that before and had to take the "runt" out and house it on it's own.

 

Best to take her along to a vet, she may need medical help, if she has eaten a small amount and is drinking water then she hasn't given up yet, best get her checked quick, they have a very high metabolism and need to keep eating (and drinking fresh water) regularly.

 

Good luck.
