Big Problem Regurg

i bought an anery that was about 4 yrs old shes very skinny compared to my male but thats not the issue. When i try feeding frozen full size mice she wont accept and is disgusted by them and regurges every time i offer a full size and i wait 10 days till i try again. But live she eats any idea what might be up. My male snow 4.5 ft long is eating them like no tomorrow!
 
A regurge is very stressful, I'm glad you know to wait 10 days between attempted feedings. Have you tried feeding smaller food items?? It seems an obvious solution..too obvious.

I can't quite understand: Does she only regurge f/t mice, or does she also regurge when you've fed live?

How long has it been since she last fed?

Before you bought her, was she being fed much smaller prey?
 
She regurges when i show her a frozen meal she doesnt even eat it. She just throws up stomach juices and with the same size meal live she eats it no probs. She has an RI but shes better now she has had 1 meal since.
 
As much as that sucks, it's kinda funny because I'd do the same thing if someone put a thawed mouse on my dinner plate.

Maybe its the mice. Could you have a bad batch that is slightly spoiled from being unfrozen too long? Maybe the snake ate one and it made her sick, and now she recognizes the smell. I'd try buying mice from somewhere else. Only after feeding the snake live for a few weeks just to get its strength up.
 
well ill stick to live with her for notw then and my big 5ft male snow can finish off the frozen goods till i get some rats for him
