    and how long do I keep feeding her small rats untill she can switch back to her normal prey size?

    I would wash her and her tub up real well to eliminate any lingering scent of the eggs and then try offering her food the next day. You can try a small or even a weanling just to get a meal in her. Once she's eating, you can do 2 or 3 feedings with a smaller prey item than normal, and then offer her a medium. If she doesn't take it then stick with the smalls for a couple more feedings. The important thing is she is eating. The rest will sort itself out.
