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...
We are doing a mixture of both. Sometimes it is after attempting to feed F/T but the majority of the time we assist feed first and then allow her to skip a few offerings like you said.

I can go pick up some aspen for her and crumple up some paper. She has one of the black plastic hides from reptile basics as well.

We usually attempt all feedings right around 6-8pm with minimal lighting. The retic is the exception, we feed him during the day.
