I guess all it took was a little advice from experienced Dum keepers to get my new girl to eat. She finally ate a fuzzy rat last night for the first time in the 3.5 months I have had her. I left it in her enclosure with all lights off and myself out of the room. I put her in a smaller enclosure and raised the temperature, and two weeks later we have success. Thanks for the help!

I bet that's a huge relief!!! After a few meals, she should get easier and easier. I think I finally figured out those yearlings I mentioned in your last thread. It seems they like a meal about 2 sizes smaller than I would feed my own holdbacks at the same size. So, in the end, it just took a while for me to just back the food size down. Now a couple feedings in, and no problems. Good job getting her back on track, post some pics once she's all settled into her new routine.
