    The other possibility is , depending on her age, the previous owner bred her and she just didn't go to production at the normal interval. Another possibility is the "retained sperm" phenomena occurred but the sperm is now degraded.

    Yeah, I think its safe to breed her next year. Start feeding her a wide variety of foods. Whatever she will take just give it to her. Don't overfeed but the key, imo, is variety.

    Well, it's best if they are the hairless mice. Is she big enough to take rat pinks? Try some f/t frog legs, my garters love them. Most fish markets sell them. Fresh fish is a good occasional treat. Frozen fish is another. Make sure you get the thiaminase free fish that is safe. Don't forget the nightcrawlers also as a food source,
