update: she finally ate today. 2 issues though:
1. Had to feed her 2 large/jumbo mice, I am starting slow in order to get her upto speed, medium rats. It took her a while to get the first one down, approx. 8-9 minutes. The 2nd took no longer than 4 minutes, probably 3 and she gulped it down. Remember, she was extremely stressed because of the lengthy shipping time and lost a lot of weight over the last 2.5 weeks.
2. Had to feed her live mice. I have tried everything from F/T, pre-kill, large and small rats, and finally live mice. The 1st mouse did not last more than 3 minutes in the tank. For the 2nd, I knocked it out, grabbed it with my tongs, and put it in her face. The mouse woke up at the wrong time, in face of a hungry BP. OUCH!!
Hopefully she will regain her lost weight and add more girth for a late breeding season.
