I had a female go about a month without eating then she took a live fuzzy mouse. Then she went another month and ate a live pinky rat. Then she went another couple of weeks and took a mouse with gusto. From that point she started taking mice live or dead, and a few times I got a rat in as a follow up. She is doing fine now.

It can just take a lot of time and waiting to get them going.
