Try giving her a small rat or rat pup. If she doesn't take it just wait until next week. Do NOT give her any more mice. Just keep trying until she eats, they can go a LONG time without eating.

She should be eating small rats or fuzzies.

Start on rats about the same as her widest point, ince she is taking rats step up the size to ones that are 1.5 times her girth.
