My albino boy eats fine and doesn't seem to have any issues as far as eyesight, either when I fed f/t or now, when I feed him live. I think as has already been said it might be a food temperature issue. Make sure the food item is completely thawed through before you feed it and if you warm up the head with a hair dryer it gives them a better "target" to fix on when they go to strike. When I fed f/t, I'd set the rat or rats in a plastic bag and put it in the fridge the night before, kind of like a turkey for Thanksgiving, lol! An hour or so before feeding time, I'd put it in a cup of warm water to thaw it the rest of the way through and change out the water to make sure the rat was warm to the touch when I took it out of the water. Blow dryer on the head, dangle with the zombie dance and voila! Biggest things are to ensure the item is completely thawed and that you don't "cook" it by heating it up too much in too hot of water. Too cold or cooked are neither one a good thing. By the way, your girl is really pretty! Like her pattern and the contrast she has in her coloration.
