slurry?

I would get her to a vet. she is losing weight and not eating. obviously a bad combo. skipping a meat at that size is dangerous. Parasites is a possibility if it has eating an infected rodent.

Jeff, parasites don't come from infected rodents. Most parasites are species-specific and something that needs mouse body-temps(101 or so) to survive, likely won't survive in snake body temps(84-85 degrees).

Proper husbandry goes a long way in helping a snake get back to eating like they should.

Like the OP said, the snake is tiny. I would have that Ball in a 6qt tub, with a 4" terra cotta or plastic pot saucer(the saucer, not the pot). Newspaper or aspen for substrate, small water bowl on the other side of the tub. Heat at 94-95 warm side, 84-85 cool side, 55-65% humidity, and covered with a dark pillowcase. Leave the snake alone completely for a week to a week and a half, then try to feed a live crawler mouse overnight. Pre-scent the area first fir 30 minutes or so, then drop the mouse in, close the tub up, cover it, and turn off the room light. LEAVE!

Don't disturb the snake at all until the next morning. If the mouse isn't gone, just remove it and leave the snake alone for another week. You can try mouse crawlers or small hoppers without their eyes open. They pose no harm whatsoever to the snake.

If you have the snake in a tank or anything bigger than a 6qt tub, move it to the shoebox tub. It needs to be in something small, dark and warm or there won't be any success...

thanks becky i will try that
