What are you trying to feed them?

I've got a pair, and the female absolutely REFUSES rats of ANY kind... I got her to strike at one after getting her all worked up with a bunch of mice I had in my snake room, then bounced around a scented weaned rat. She struck at it with full force, but once she got a whiff of it, she spit it out just as quick.
