Hi,
I'm not sure I know what the question is...... But that never stopped me before so here we go.
It's better to feed her multiple prey items at one sitting than to constantly have her digesting by offering every second day I think.
Their digestive system is designed to shut down between meals in a way mamals cannot - there was a good post explaining the process somewhere but I cannot find the link at the moment.
What meals was she refusing aside from the rats she doesn't want? Has she recently only wanted three mice or something similar?
It might be an idea to weigh the 4 mice she would normally eat to compare to the 10-15% of bodyweight rule - though that rules doesn't really apply once they get up to near breeding size for me. I feed nothing larger than a small rat to any of my snakes following a post made on here that this makes for a more consistent feeding pattern.
Small rats for me are around the 60g mark but it varies a bit depending on supplier.
