Well, here are my suggestions since it's what got my girl to go back on feed:
1) Make sure she feels safe. If something's off about her hides or whatever, then she could be refusing because of that. My girl used to eat in a separate enclosure before she went off feed, now she'll only eat in her tank.
2) When it comes to thawing, how are you warming the prey? I found I'm more likely to get her to eat i the mouse is kept dry during the reheating process. I was originally buying F/T mice from petsmart and they came in individual bags. When I ordered online, that wasn't the case, so I was thawing the mice out directly in hot water. I've switched back and now put the mice in little bags which are placed in the hot water. This keeps the scent on the mice more(at least I believe that to be the case)
3) Leave her alone with it(F/T only). My snake will now only eat when I'm not around. I haven't actually seen her eat in 2 month. What I do is I place the mouse in one of her hides(sometimes while she's in there). She'll poke her head out to make sure I'm not around, and I'll leave her alone, but eventually when I come back, the mouse is gone.
Hope this helps.
