    Are you assist feeding her every time she refuses? We've had a few stubborn hatchlings over the years, and have had the best luck by assist feeding them on a consistent schedule until they gain enough weight that they can skip a few meals without any serious danger, and then just waiting them out. So basically, we might assist feed every 5 days for a month or so, then just offer prey normally for a few meals to see if they will get hungry and take it.

    Also, if you haven't already, I would put her on aspen, cypress, or coconut husk, and put a bunch of crumpled paper in her tub. A little extra security never hurts. And when you offer, you may find that you have better luck offering in the dark, and walking away for a bit (if you haven't tried that already).

    Hopefully all that makes sense...
