Feeding f/t techniques

I thought you said you attempted to feed her just yesterday or the day before.

If you DO attempt it again leave them in OVERNIGHT. Not just throughout the day.

I tried yesterday (10am) and then took them out of her home after she didn't eat them (around midnight) before I went to bed. Early in the day I had tried in a different container thinking that might be it but after an hour of her just trying to get out I put her back in her home with the f/t pinks.

And if snakes eat f/t because they have heat like a real live pink then wouldn't after several hours they become cold again thus giving no incentive to get the snake to eat? I know when I moved my f/t pinks to her home yesterday they had become cold.

Agreed, Overnight! And I still think when you do attempt f/t again that sticking her in a deli cup with the lid, place the cup in the cage, and do as you said, put a towel over the cage and just leave. The deli cup in a dark quiet room overnight really does work wonders... Dont worry, your snake will not die of starvation if she hasnt eaten in 2-3 weeks.
