How old is Tiny? I am sure you feed pre-killed but fresh or frozen? Is there anything even minute that has changed i.e. food size, cage, light? I had a sub-adult Guyana that was a very stressed animal and very sensative to change of any kind. She would do what you described, she hit the rat coil and the next day would still be in the same spot. This went on for over a month, so I tried to feed her a food item to small for her to constrict and that got her to feed on her own so I followed the fuzzy rat with a small rat chaser, The next feeding went fine. She did however repeat that behavior periodicly and the procedure I tried originally worked each time to bring her back to normal. Sorry to ramble but I know how much time and effort it takes to keep our snakes healthy and how frustrating it is when one starts to act funny. I hope this may help you and Tiny good luck to you and yours.
