try hoppers next?
Hi Sam,
I think I'm also in favor of leaving her alone. Give her a couple extra hides, too--I like cardboard packing tubes for cheap disposable hides. And maybe she'd appreciate the crumpled paper treatment, where you basically fill her tub with paper so she feels more secure.
I find finicky eaters respond best to live hoppers. All that hopping around, it's apparently nigh irresistible... but at some level, she's at that age/size where a lot of bps just take a break from eating for a few months. And you can up her average temps and maybe increase the daylight leaking into the room... but she may just be doing this annoying fasting thing that a lot of juvies do anyway.
Good luck. You've done a good thing! :)

Just an update...
I left her alone, increased humidity etc. I found out she use to like ASFs so that gave me the idea to get a baby ASF and maybe leave it in with her over night (small enough so that it woudn;t pose a threat at all). Sure enough, I put it in with her and at first she was scared of it as usual. Turned away from the tub for 2 mins, and she ate it!!!!! :D.
Thanks for the replies, I was getting worried about this little girl. Looks like she is going to be just fine.
