Wiggle it, but dont just leave it after she snake has struck. Make sure you shake it slightly when its being constricted so the snake feels its alive.

I've got a baby that hasn't fed for 3 weeks, but hasn't lost any weight, so no worries

If you can't get her to eat you could leave it on a bit of cardboard in the viv.

Leave her about 2 days to digest before you handle her again.

You could try feeding the other tonight, but she'll be alright for a week if you decide to leave it too

How big is she? - If a hatchling, then try her again in 5 days, if a yearling then 7 days and a larger prey item probably.

Congrats.
