Rat scared our snake-- posted in wrong section

[hoax]

I am sure this has happened many a time, but I need advice on how to help my son's snake through this. We have been feeding live for a while. She is touch and go on frozen thawed and wasn't eating well so we switched. Always supervised, etc. Well a couple months ago, we gave her a rat and it immediately ran on top of her and bit her. It was just super active and biting. We scrambled, got the tank unlocked and open, grabbed the stupid rat out and left ehr alone. Ever since, she has been afraid of rats. She has eaten maybe two since then. Very little young babies, but now she won't even eat the young weanlings and just retreats. We have put very quiet young ones in and sat and waited and watched. Rat sits in corner, she hunts all around, advances, retreats and eventually goes into her hide and... Hides. She is fine eating mice but now she is pretty big and will only take two mice at a time and they are just very small weightwise for her size. I'd say the mice are maybe 24 grams each and before the rat and her subsequent food strike, she was eating 100 g rats. We were basing the rat size on her weight. I haven't weighed her recently as we are trying to leave her alone so that she will just EAT.

We switched her to a dark tub. Temps and humidity are good. Tub is a bit small for her size but don't want her in too big a space right now. She was in a glass visionarium and we decided to try to make her more hidden and hopefully more secure to help with the eating. She ate two mice last night.

My plan is this (and I am looking for input on whether or not this is a good plan):

Keep her in the tub.
Feed her two mice every five days because the mice are not big enough but she needs to eat.
Once she is eating the mice super regularly, try to feed one mouse followed by a rat that has been coated in mouse shavings so it will smell mousy.

????

Any thoughts?

I personally do not see how this plan to feed two mice every 5 days. I would carefully monitor her weight if she starts to get obese, then I would change the feeding schedule. I hope this helps some.
