The pet store I received her from has always fed her rats in one form or another alternatively (fresh kill, live, frozen, etc), should I really switch to mice? would they be big enough for her to eat and stay fed for up to a week?
I have had good success feeding two large mice to picky eaters. Sometimes if a snake won't feed on rats, it will take mice. I am not advocating a permanent switch, just making a suggestion that may help get your snake eating again. I would second the earlier remarks o not handle your snake before feeding. It causes stress.
