Hognose suddenly got picky with eating

Hi all. Before I left for the summer my hognose was practically eating anything I throw at her. She would even strike with mouth open at f/t!

But now she only eats live and even then, slightly reluctantly. This happened after I had someone take care of her for a month. Though when I got her back she didn't look like she was thin or that anything was wrong.

The biggest issue though is that she's getting a bit too big for fuzzies (I feed her 2 per time) but I'm afraid to size up because she cant catch hoppers lol... (she's tried) And even if she does I'm afraid the hopper will injure her (she doesn't constrict). She even has a hard time with rat pups...

Will try scenting with tuna/ salmon/ eggs.. :/

EDIT:.. PS she does strike when I try to offer her f/t or live but only with mouth closed and hisses+ hoods up impressively. She only eats if I leave the food in the tank. She doesn't eat outside of the tank at all.
