You should have waited the week to let her acclimate and settle into her new environment before trying to feed.
If she was on live she may not take f/t. How did you warm up the frozen mouse?

I attempted to feed the night i got her, because the pet store lady tried to feed her at the store before i got her. the mouse was refused and is now a pet of a friend...i thawed out the mouse in the fridge over night then put it under the heating light for a few minutes before attempting to feed. I understand she probably had live mice before, but i need to take steps to convert her to frozen/thawed and i am willing to be patient.

Make sure the frozen thawed is fully thawed and warm, it works for me. Haven't fed him live yet,when I do,I'm site it won't be a problem.
okay, thanks! thats how i thawed this mouse out as well. Did you take your snake out of the enclosure to feed to just leave it in? And is there any way to make sure the snake knows the mouse is there? I know this will sound stupid, but my girl just climbed around the sides of her tank and did not even acknowledge the mouse at all
