Thanks to everybody for all the tips. I tried scenting a f/t pinky with the emerald swift but she still didn't eat it. I am going to pick up some live pinkies in the next couple of days and try scenting one. If she still will not eat within the next couple weeks I am going to brumate her for a couple of months and try again. She is still lively and healthy, she doesn't look much thinner than the male who has eaten four times. If she still will not eat a scented pinky after waking her up then I will force feed, first trying mouse tails. It seems like force feeding is a last resort sinceif they regurge many times they die.
