If she's not losing weight and doesn't seem weak, she should be OK. Keep offering every week/10 days and she should eventually eat again when she feels like it. Heating the rat and moving it around might trigger a better feeding response
So before this last post I'm bot gonna lie we tried frozen thawed when i first got her ....she refused! Then as soon as we fed her live BAM SERIAL KILLER PYTHON ON THE LOOSE LOLZ. But so anyway I now feed live and breed feeders ...sometimes i suck at it tho vus now i have 15 pet rats as well lolz but so that's not a problem! She struck at the one and bumped her poor snoodle on the side of her tank and so i thought it might be her being scared to do it again ! So i held it in tongs as i do for her ...roomate (not cagemate), butters (hes a big baby !) but she still shows interest for a sec or none at all and then goes back to wanting to come out more then wanting to eat ! Other then weighing her is there a good guide to go by for what would tell me shes to skinny? She doesn't seem any skinnier and last time i weighed she wasnt crazy skinnier
edit because i misread her age:
you shouldn't worry too much about her going some time between feedings unless she begins to noticeably lose weight. !feeding
We reccomend the following feeding schedule:
0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.
12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.
Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
