Offering food a few times a week is probably stressing her out.

only offer food once a week and leave her alone.

I hate to offer mice to rat feeders B/C they will, as stated develope a preference.

I would offer a weanling/small rat first, something way smaller than she could eat, for a few weeks to see if she takes it.
after a few successful feedings then go up in size from there.

if she doesn't take weanling/small after a few weeks, maybe a mouse will get her going again.
