Ball Pyton won't eat

I am having problems getting my ball python to eat. My ball quit eating rats for two months. She will usually come out of her hide and look like she is interested. She will get her face close to the rodent and then get scarred and back away. I switched to feeding her 2 mice a week and had some sucess with that, but only late at night. Most recently I she decided not to eat the mice either. I have tried other rodents like hamsters and no sucess. I have never had any luck with any pre killed prey. The closest I can get to killed prey "that I have ever had sucess with", was stunning the rodents with a thump on the head. I too am a little lost on what to try next, it's so frustrating. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I would like to try feeding these African Soft Fur Rats, but I dont know where I can get these live. Because of her past eating habits, I dout feeding her these frozen will work. I heard about dipping the rodents in tuna oil may work. Has anyone tried this with sucess? Please help
