(Don't worry for her, I have a few guys that will feed her live if it comes down to that, she won't starve, I just won't be a part of it) I'm concerned about feeding her rat pups for one reason though, and that's that he told me that some of the others he had like Evie were also fasting right now... does this maybe mean that the rat pups are just a shade too big maybe?
I would recommend you stick to live rat pups for the first few feedings and then try to switch her over. Keep in mind she is in a new place, new surroundings, new home, new smells...the last thing she needs is new food...this may be why she isn't eating right now. Give her a chance to settle in and start eating well then attempt to change her over.
