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
