Steve,

Unfortunately this is a common condition of Surinam/B.C.C.

It is mainly due to temps that are to cool,The food item to large,or to frequent feedings.

I have personally battled this syndrom several times.

With extreme PATIENCE I have been able to succeed.

I would wait 2/3 weeks before trying to feed her again.

I would raise the ambient temps 2 degrees from what you already have.So the cool end shoould be 83'- 85'.

I would place more hide boxes in the enclosure.For security.

I would feed a very small pinky mouse.Not rat,For some reason mice are easier to digest.

I would try again 3 weeks latter.

After successfully feeding small pinky mice 3 times in a row without incident.I would move up to fuzzies 3 times in a row.

She should be back to normal by then.

Remember the key here is EXTREME PATIENCE. Good Luck
