    Suggestions:
    Try a mouse fuzzy. I've had some reluctant feeders feel less intimidated by undersized prey, and take it, when they would run from a hopper. They go on to feed on hoppers at the next meal. Plus, you can leave a fuzzy in overnight without fear it will harm the snake.

    Try a rat fuzzy. Maybe she's just being picky and wants a different rodent.

    Im feeding her standard issue pet store mice, and I've gone as far as leave it with her overnight (mouse food included) cause Im a little desperate with her. I always offer her the smallest one of the bunch and she has eaten them before so I dont think its an intimadtaion thing but Ill get a rat fuzzy at my next opportunity anyway. I just moved her tub to a different position on the rack in case that matters to her at all. Keep the ideas coming, Ill pretty much try anything that keeps me from having to attempt a force feeding.
