Give her time she'll eat at some point.
Is she in a feeding tank of some kind that has nothing on the bottom? If so then that's probably why she's rubbing her nose on it, she could be trying to burrow.

Did she eat it? Rat pups might be a little bit too big for her. Maybe a pinky or small fuzzy next time?

Thanks for the reply, gave her a pinky today, isis just rests her head on it. then goes to the other side of the tank. I feed her in own plastic tank just push the bedding to one side.

My male wont eat unless I gently wiggle the pinky to make it 'alive', the female doesn't care and if it smells like food then she will eat it.

I shall vid the feed next time to give you a better idea of what I mean.
