You should only offer her food once every 5 to 7 days or you could stress her out and she may not want to eat for you. How many times have you tried to get her to take the f/t rat? You could try a freshly killed rat and see if she will take that for you and then transition her onto the f/t. My snakes are growing just fine with eating adult mice. I just have to feed multiple mice to satisfy them. I'm sure someone with more experience then myself will help answer your questions as well.
i tried f/t rat three times with 6 of them and they all turn it down the biggest f/t rat weight was 67 grams and they all look at me like "come on pal give it up and get back to the mice" lol! Do you think color matters? Since they are use to white mice all the f/t rats i attempted were black or mainly black with a little bit of white on them.
