    What size prey are you feeding? I'm pretty sure my first feed to my pewter was rejected because it was too small. I tried with a 12 day old pinky (that the breeder gave me), and it was a no go, but I tried 2 days later with a fuzzy and she took it no problem. Have you tried leaving the f/t prey in there over night? Maybe right in front of the hide? I was planning to do that if she refused the second time on advice of people here, but I never actually tried it. It might be time to at least offer at least one live feed though. Whatever you chose to do next, I wish you luck.

    Hey Shera!

    I thought it was bad to leave F/T in the cage to long for the risk of growing bacteria? Assuming that the snake did not end up eating it by the end of the night. I am trying to feed her Hopper Mice. They are maybe a mm smaller than the largest diameter of her body. So they seem to be the right size. And like I said before, she has eaten 1, in the last 5 weeks. I just can't get her to do it again.
