I'm going to reiterate what everyone else has already said -- at her size, she should be on adult mice/rat pups. She probably isn't getting enough to eat which can stress them out and make them constantly seek food. You should also change your hide to something that is dark, snug, and round -- with no openings except for one place to enter and exit from. Those logs do not provide any sense of security and if given a choice, these snakes will choose something else. Also make sure you have two hides, one on each end of the enclosure -- she shouldn't have to choose between temperature and security. Good luck!
