She’s probably not hungry.

At 5 years old and 8-9 feet she does not need to eat every week. She should be able to handle one meal a month. Once a week feeding is way too much food for a healthy adult.

my 3 year old male eats 1 xl or xxl rat every two weeks. That’s all he needs. he’s still putting on a little bit of weight here and there, and still sheds once a month. your female should be eating appropriately sized meal, at most, once every two weeks, but once a month would be fine.
