Yes, but they feed only by small objects like newborn or pinky mouse.

Seems to depend on the individual. Most of mine stop taking food 2-3 weeks before laying - I keep offering smaller items than usual and they will occasionally take one during that period. On the other hand, I have one that will wolf down 2 large mice at a sitting, right up to a few days before laying.
My advice would be to keep offering food, smaller than she'd normally accept and she'll figure it out for herself.
