Yeah I know why they do it, I guess I didn't explain it right.

I did pull the rat out. It's just right now I have access to live food only every other week at my local reptile expo, so when she doesn't want to eat that means I have to wait another 2 weeks to try to feed her. I didn't want to powerfeed her necessarly, but now waiting 1 month between each feedings I think it's a little too much. I gave up on handling her and trying to feed her F/T because of her fear, but I wish she wouldn't be scared of her food.

I did pull the rat out after 15 min, she wouldn't do anything of it after he smelled her. The rat wasn't that big either for her body size, I think that smaller than that she would have a hard time getting a hold of it.
