By the sounds of it I would offer rat fluffs..Many snakes will often turn down small items only to snatch something that is larger..as you have said as long as its around the same size as the girth it should be fine

hi
How long have you had the snake?
Was she feeding defrost mice fuzzies before you got her?
Is CB or CF
How many feeds did she have with the previous owner?
Letting the snake settle in and feed a few times on whatever food is way to go. Try both rat pups and mice.
see pic of how I keep my babies.

I know I have got the setup right as I have researched etc.
And also asked people for personal experience!...

She is Cf. 07.
I have had her just over a week now, I am not at all worried yet I just wanted to know
wether I should try her with rats to get her started on them as soon as because
I have been told by several people that rats are best.
She was in the shop for about 2 months and I have been told she had around 8 feeds.

she is in a 4l RUB so she is secure etc. with a water bowl and 2 hides.
and a heat mat set at about 92F

thanks.
