    Off food... assist feeding?

    We adopted a normal female BP. She is just shy of 4 ft and has produced clutches in the past according to the previous owner. Was told that she's been off food for @ 6 mos. now. She has refused both live mice and live rats for me. I was recommend to offer small so I tried to tempt her with a rat pinky hoping to slip larger food in behind it. She is all the way down to 800 grams now. It makes me wonder... has she really lost that much weight or did they breed her too young? She has shed recently and appears healthy otherwise but she is visibly under weight. Ultimately the question is, when should I start worrying and start considering assist feeding?
