    Problem feeder

    So I have a pied girl got her at 150grams. The breeder fed mice but someone at the show said the breeder only fed asfs. The day I got her she ate 2 rat pups and was 228 grams, after she pooped she was 190 grams. Then she didn't eat for a month, she ate 2 more rat pups an was up to 245 grams, and after she pooped she was 203grams. Since then she will only eat 1 live or f/t rat pup about every 45 days. She was in a 20gallon with 70% humidity and temps ranging from 75-88 and hot spot of 92-93. She had 2 hides and a water bowl and she was on reptibark substrate and moss everywhere to make her feel more secure. Well now she is on a 45 day off feed which I know isn't much but she is still very small. I moved her to my new tubs and she is in a 6qt its is very tight and small but I am hoping she will eat and eventually I will move her up to my 15quart. Well now what do I offer her I have mice from 7-60 grams, rats from 25-200grams and asfs from 23-70 grams. (obviously I won't give a huge one) what should I feed . Also I can go pick up live for her but she seems scared of live. When they move to much and she has struck and tried to constrict and didnt kill and leaves them or tries to eat them alive when i say they i mean rat pups. Friday is feeding day should I offer food or wait till next week. I have a bunch of question about this situation.

    This is a picture from a few weeks ago I haven't taken ant new ones because I avoid handling at all costs.
