HELP! My California Kingsnake has been refusing to eat for weeks now. I'm not sure on her age, but she's 33 inches in length.

Some background: I bumped her up a rodent size because she was eating fuzzies like crazy (at least once a week). She ate one adult mouse, and then shed shortly after on 3/13. After her shed, she was not interested in food. She is still active and everything, but not eating. I thought that maybe the mice were a bit too big, so I went to buy more fuzzies, but the store gave me pinkies. She ate one on 4/7. Now it's 4/24 and I offered her a pinky this morning and she didn't eat. She's still super active and curious, so I don't think she's sick, but how long can she last on one pinky? I just don't know what to do to get her to eat as well as she was two months ago. Advice?

Oh, also I feed her in a feeding container separate from her enclosure. She's always eaten this way for me until recently.
