The only thing to really do is be patient.
( provided your husbandry, and temps are all ideal)
I Had a picky mouse eater female who one day after 2 years decided she was famished and wanted to gobble up fat rats. go figure.
Rest assured, the more you want them to eat, the less likely they will ( Murphy's law of ball pythons)
It is breeding season, and you can't fight instinct. One month is not a long time for them to be off feed. Unless she's loosing weight, I wouldn't worry.

I agree! I wouldn't worry they can go up to 6 months with out food and not loose a gram!
