I have a few that need a mouse or two to get started feeding again after their hunger strikes. I let them have mice for a few feedings, then on the next feeding follow a mouse with a rat pup that has crawled around in mouse shavings when their feeding response is still high from the mouse. It's worked with a few of mine.
She's a gorgeous mojo. I'd keep her and try to work with her so you can have your BELs one day. Good luck!

She looks good and already has more than a year's age on her. She may not be the biggest 2009 out there, but too many people disregard age in favor of size. I'd much rather breed a 1500 gram 2.5 year old than a 2000 gram 1.5 year old.
If she's eating something, keep her. Work on getting her on rats. Try to feed F/T mice to keep the smell down.

Joe i ve had the same problem with my albino het pied female. She would lunge for f\t rats no sooner than her tub was opened. Then she went on a break. Tried live small rat,f\t small rat, no dice. Live mice she would eat 2-3 a week. Tried switching her back no luck. I stopped trying to feed her for just over a month laid a frozen thawed small rat next to her hide and left it. Woke up checked her tub it was gone. She by far has been the pickiest eater i have ever dealt with. Going to give it another shot on sunday and see if she takes it.

Re: Would you keep her?
if everything else that's been posted fails, and you want to keep her, feed her mice. when she gives you a clutch of eggs and lost almost 1/3 of her body weight. that's the time I switch my stubborn ones. they will usually eat anything.
