hmmmm....Good Idea, Bad Idea?......What Do You Think?

I got a 6 1/2 ft Female Surinam about a month ago. I was planning on "powerfeeding" her for a while, then cycle her. However, powerfeeding her is out of the question, because she isn't feeding at all. I know Ball pythons quite often go off of food around this time of year, do Surinams do that too? Because I've never even heard of a Surinam that is a problem feeder. All my other ones will eat whatever moves, or doesn't move too for that matter. Anyways, I need your guys (and gals) opinions:

Should I keep trying to get her to eat (by the way I've tried EVERYTHING), or should I hibernate her in hopes that when I bring her out of cycle it will trigger her feeding response and she'll start eating again. Or will this have a negative effect and make her not want to eat even more? No I don't want to cycle her so I can still breed her this year, I just want her to start eating again. Please help, any and every opinion matters.

Thanks
