I'm trying to convince mine to eat a mouse but it looks like she doesn't care at all... :/

How old is she and when was the last time that she ate?

Mine never hesitates, but he's a young snake.

Several months is not unheard of, but more information from you would be very helpful. How long has it been so far since she ate? How old is the snake? Size and weight? How is your enclosure set up and heated?

Assuming if it's a mouse, it must not be very old..what is your setup like? Temps humidity?

Are you feeding live? Has it ever eaten live? (or other way around, are you feeding f/t? etc)

My boa is eating regularly, however my ball python had a 9-month fasting period last year. I was scared to death, but she resumed to regular eating without any problem.

I was contemplating with the idea of taking her to a vet, but she looked just fine, moved around just like before, so I decided to wait, and I was right.
