I see this a lot, especially with females that are at a good (healthy) weight. Try feeding less frequently (once every 2-3 weeks) to see if that helps. If you are dying to get her up to breeding size then repeatedly placing the mouse in front of her face will usually entice her to take it.



Best of luck,

Chris
