Okay, one other thought, could I start injecting the feeders with pedialyte? I normally soak the rats (but not with her since I can only get her to eat live ATM). LOL Which also means I probably couldn't inject the rats since they would be alive

I do inject feeders with additional fluids if necessary - this is also how I administer some medications. You could still wet the rat - alive or dead.
On a side note, gatorade is more then water and sugar, which is why it is considered a sports drink. It contains sodium (in the form of sodium chloride), potassium, carbohydrates (sugars), phosphorus, etc. Basically all of your electrolytes.
I think you might be confused - recall that electrolytes are simply salts. They include sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, magnesium, sulfate etc, all of which are lost through excersize (sweat) and sickness (through vomiting and diahhrea), hence its recommendation of use.
Anyhow, back to your snake - definitely give him a soak and wet your feeder item.
