Unhappy More Problems!!!

Well i was worried that my 2 month old BCI was taking long to shed. Well she finally did after a week, but now i have another problem. She won't eat. I was was starting to feed her small baby rats before she started her shed cycle and when i tried to feed her the day after her shed se wouldn't eat. I left her alone with it for 1.5 hours and she didn't eat. So i thought maybe it was too big since she had gotten thin durng her shed cycle. I tried a smaller hopper mouse today and nothing again. However both prey did have cuts on them(probably when some was cutting open the freezer bag) and they did smell a little as a result. I don't want to go to Live since she accepted F/T the first time i fed her. What should i do, try FK? i'm not too sure at this point if any one can help me out, I would be forever greatfull.

P.S. It has been 15 days since she has last eaten.

try one with out a cut on it. let it unthaw naturally and then when youre ready put into a ziplock bag and run hot water over it then feed at will. maybe just give him some time it usually works. hope the best.
