Wait a week and try again. If she is a decent size a week won't make a difference. Also, since she's an adult female, she might be off feed for the breeding season, so don't worry too much if she keeps refusing.
I did the rat dance thing with the thong at first, when she went back in her hide I stopped and leaved there. I did thaw the rat in warm water first, than hot tap water, inside a plastic bag so it stays dry. How long is the breeding season? From what month to what month?

Thank you so much guys. I guess I should not worry, but it's a newbie thing I guess! I just love her so much.
