We just picked up a '98 normal female that has not eaten since Feb 23. We offered her a medium rat yesterday because that's what we were told she eats, but she didn't eat. In fact, she avoided the rat and it's been 3 weeks since her last meal.

I have a few questions...

1. We weighed her on a bathroom scale, she weighs 3.5 lbs and she's 4' long. How often should she eat?

2. If I can't get her to eat soon, how long before I should start to worry?

3. Her prior owners told us that she eats live medium rats, but she also has scars from were rats have been left in with her for days. She acted afraid of the rat yesterday, should I keep offering her live or should I try F/T?

Thanks
