I mix natural variety kibble with raw because she was on kibble

She's new. She's strange. Hunger is not uppermost in her mind. I'd pick it up and give her another shot in the morning.
If that's many many hours away, you could hand-feed her a strip of chicken or something before bed.

Stephanie,
I like to feed three meals a day until pups are 6 months or so, or until they stop eating vigorously at the evening meal.
Little Em slowed way down eating and actually leaving some food at evening feed so I phased out the lunch. She gets enough food rewards throughout the day as well.

Mine is slowing down on the pm meal. She is a small dog, 7mo, 7lbs. She is fed twice a day. Been on raw about 10-12 days. She has done this for 2-3 days, finally tonight, I took it up. Maybe too many treats? Or is once a day enough?

Twice a day for small dogs. Once means too much food at one meal. You could cut the morning meal and make the training treats pea-size. Is she happy, energetic, peeing/pooping, etc.?
Many people make the mistake of thinking that fresh real food should be fed in the amounts that grain-heavy kibble is.

She is playful, pee, poo and all that.
I am probably overfeeding. I am eyeballing and not weighing.
Today, especially, she didn't finished her breakfast. So I put it away for tonight and added just a little bit more. She didn't eat any of it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it or with her because she is playful.
We had play/training not long before dinner. The treats are small as or smaller than pea size, but we used a lot more this time.
