Hi,
Glad to hear you got all the shed and other problems sorted.
I do have a few suggestions for feeding her which might be a little healthier.
Instead of chicken meat it would be worth trying frozen chicks - the fact it is a whole prey item would mean it would have all the nutrients and vitamins etc just not found in meat off the bone.
That being said I don't really reccomend a diet of nothing but chicks either but if she will take them it is definately a step in the right direction.
If they only offered her mice there are other whole prey items you could offer her that may not have the same negative reaction (that will fade in time most likely by the way).
First one to try would probably be fuzzy rats.
Since you would be trying younger rats there is no chance of them hurting her the way the mice did even if your feeding live and leaving them in the cage overnight. But if she eats raw chicken I'm thinking she would probably not have a problem taking F/T.
Have a read around the "problem eaters" threads for ideas to try.
Oh andto the site.
